Agenda and draft minutes

No apologies for absence were received.

To confirm as a correct record the enclosed minutes of the meeting of the Standards Sub-Committee held on 24 February 2010. 

RESOLVED – That the minutes of the Standards Sub-Committee held on 24 February 2010 be held as a correct record for signing by the Chair.

Members are reminded of their responsibility to declare any personal interest in respect of matters contained in this agenda. If the interest arises only as result of your membership of another public body or one to which you have been appointed by the Council then you only need to declare it if you intend to speak.

If the personal interest is a prejudicial interest, you must withdraw from the meeting. Normally you should leave the room before the business starts to be discussed. 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.

No Members declared an interest in respect of items on the agenda.

The registers for Borough Councillors and Parish Councillors within the remit of the Committee will be examined.

The Sub-Committee examined the Register of Interests under the Code of Conduct for Town and Parish Councils within the Chorley Council area.

The Sub-Committee then considered the Register if Interests under the Code of Conduct for the 47 Borough Councillors.
