Response by the Cabinet Member: Firstly, may I be clear that there will be no “Fake News” around this important and valuable service review. My report to Cabinet will set out the relevant facts and due diligence for their consideration to reach a decision in accordance with Constitutional requirements to enable us to demonstrate we can meet our statutory duty “..... to ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, that safe passage along a highway is not endangered by snow or ice.” I would seek to re-assure Councillors that we are following national guidance in this process and have also undertaken public consultation on priorities. This will feed into the on-going deliberations, as I seek to formalise my next report to Cabinet. It is therefore inappropriate for me at this time to comment further, ahead of an impending decision. However, I would respond that ‘equality’ as used in the article ensures that residents in comparable locations and situations receive the same level of service equitably respecting the requirements laid down for the authority to follow.
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.
