Declarations of Any Interests Members are reminded of their responsibility to declare any personal interest in respect of matters contained in this agenda.

You do, however, have the same right to speak as a member of the public and may remain in the room to enable you to exercise that right and then leave immediately. In either case you must not seek to improperly influence a decision on the matter.
