RESOLVED to confirm as a true record the Minutes of the Meeting held on the 14 May 2025. Matters arising The Service Manager, Development Management reported that during the last Development Management Committee meeting, Members requested an update as to where officers had got to with the negotiations for a new pedestrian link for the Bodlondeb development, and at the time, she confirmed that officers were still in discussion with Wales and West Housing Association.

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.
