Election of Chairman To elect a Chairman for the meeting. Minutes: It was proposed by Cllr W Trite, seconded by Cllr R Adkins Decision That Cllr M Parkes be elected as Chairman. On being elected Chairman Cllr Parkes read out the following statement: The Council
received an email yesterday at 4.20 pm raising a concern that the correct
procedure for the hearings has not been followed as the Councillors who are the
subject of allegations have not been provided with the contact details of the
Independent Persons for them to consult with. This is
right. Those contact details should have
been given. Therefore, today’s
hearings will be adjourned to give each Councillor who is the subject of
allegations the opportunity to consult with the Independent Person. We will aim to arrange a new date for these
hearings in February. The Clerk will
write to everyone shortly with details of a new hearing date and the
Councillors will be provided with the details of the Independent Persons. We apologise for
any inconvenience caused by the adjournment but we want to ensure the correct
procedure is followed and be fair to everyone.
