Chairman's Announcements
Minutes:
The Chairman highlighted a number of events he had recently attended including hosting a party at the Plume School for Ukrainian children.
Councillor A S Fluker raised a point of order at this point referring to Procedure Rule 1(6)(i) regarding the length of meetings. He proposed that the Council did not take any business after 10pm unless it was confident that it could be dealt with by 10:30pm, referring to the predicted freezing temperatures, those having to work the following day and in particular those staff in attendance. In response the Chairman advised that he was hoping the meeting could finish by 9:30pm, however it would be the Chairman’s discretion as to what time the meeting finished.
