Issue - meetings

The Chairman announced that there was one item of urgent business to bring before the meeting.  This related to the reporting of “Complaints Under the Code of Conduct”. 

The reason for the urgency was that, in accordance with Section 100B(4)(b) of the Local Government Act 1972, the Chairman was of the opinion that the item should be considered at this meeting as a matter of urgency as it was intended to have appeared on the agenda as a separate item but had inadvertently been omitted on the assumption that a separate item on the agenda covered the subject matter;  it was subsequently realised that it ought to be considered as a separate item.

The item would be considered at the appropriate point in the proceedings.
