AGENDA

  1. APOLOGIES FOR ABSENCE

To receive apologies for absence and to consider whether to approve reasons given.  If Council cannot approve the absence, then the clock starts ticking as far as the six absences rule goes.  So, please give a reason – it can be very general if it’s a personal matter – and then our records will be tighter in case there is ever a problem over prolonged Councillor absence.

  1. RECORDING OF PROCEEDINGS

To ask for notification of whether anyone intends to film, photograph or record any items.  This makes sure that those who do not want to be filmed are not filmed.  Children must not be filmed under any circumstances.  If it is felt that the recording process is interfering with the meeting in any way, the Chairman has the right to stop it. The rules around filming (which Council adopted in November 2014) will be displayed at all meetings.

  1. DECLARATIONS OF INTEREST AND LOBBYING

To receive any declarations of personal or prejudicial interest Members may wish to make, relating to any items on the agenda and to report lobbying. The definition of lobbying is ‘advocacy with the intention of influencing decisions’ so if parishioners have asked Members to investigate a matter or reported a fault this does not fall within the remit of this item.
