Councillors will be asked to make declarations of interest in respect of items on this agenda. A flowchart providing guidance on interests is attached to assist councillors.

David Shepperd (Head of Legal Services) reported that some councillors had private interests in agenda item 14 (minute 49 referred), as members of the Local Government Pension Scheme  and that it was not necessary to make individual declarations in relation to that item.

There were no other declarations of interest made by councillors in accordance with the code of conduct in relation to items under consideration at this meeting.
