To consider any items which the Chair has agreed to have submitted as urgent.

To allow Members an opportunity to [a] declare any personal, prejudicial or disclosable pecuniary interests they might have in any items which appear on this agenda; and [b] record any items from which they are precluded from voting as a result of Council Tax/Council rent arrears; [c] the existence and nature of party whipping arrangements in respect of any item to be considered at this meeting. Members with a personal interest should declare that at the start of the item under consideration.  If Members also have a prejudicial or disclosable pecuniary interest they must withdraw from the meeting during the consideration of the item.

The officers consider that the following item contains confidential

information an individual as provided for in the Local Government

Access to Information and that the public interest in maintaining

the exemption outweighs that of disclosing the information. The

Employee Appeals Committee is recommended to agree the

necessary resolutions to exclude the public from the meeting

during consideration of this item.

An appeals process exists for members of the public who wish to

appeal against an officers’ recommendation for confidentiality.

Anyone who does wish to do so should contact the Committee

Officer as soon as possible (preferably at least 48 hours) before

the meeting.
