Issue - meetings

Apologies for absence were received from Councillors B S Beale MBE, M W Helm, B B Heubner, C P Morley, N J Skeens and C Swain.

At this point the Chairman advised he intended to take the business in two parts, during the first from now until 5pm he would attempt to get all the public business done.  The meeting would adjourn at that point and reconvene at 7pm to consider any remaining business.
