To disclose the existence and nature of any Disclosable Pecuniary Interests, other Pecuniary Interests or Non-Pecuniary Interests relating to items of business on the agenda having regard to paragraphs 6 - 8 inclusive of the Code of Conduct for Members.

(Members are reminded that they are also required to disclose any such interests as soon as they become aware should the need arise throughout the meeting).

Councillor M F L Durham declared a non-pecuniary interest as a member of Essex County Council and any item of business pertaining to that organisation.

Councillor Mrs P A Channer declared a non-pecuniary interest as a member of Essex County Council and any matter on the agenda relating or referring to that organisation.  In addition and in respect of Agenda Item 13 – Superfast Essex Update Councillor Mrs Channer advised that this related to a resolution of the Council in May 2016 and that as she had removed herself from the chamber at that meeting and did not take part in any discussion she felt it prudent to do the same and therefore remove herself from the chamber for this matter.  She highlighted that although monies went to Essex County Council, the County Council coordinated the scheme which was based under the delivery of Superfast Essex, under the BDUK (Building Digital UK) programme.
