   Decided

   The minutes record no decision on this item.

   Why

   Councillor Fouweather asked the question. The Cabinet Member explained that the proposed junction counts as one signalised junction, meaning one controlled by traffic lights. A signalised junction already exists on the site and runs part time. The existing signals by the Riverfront Theatre stay in place.

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.
