Councillors must say when they have a personal link to something being discussed, such as a job, a property or a family member. A prejudicial interest is one strong enough that the councillor usually leaves the room and takes no part.

Declarations are read from the minutes once they are published.

The council hasn't recorded attendance for this meeting.

Lists the council's current councillors only. Co-opted members, officers and former councillors aren't shown.
