APPLICATION FOR DISPENSATION BY COUNCILLOR ANNE CARYS JONES PDF 274 KB Additional documents: Minutes: The Committee considered an application submitted by County Councillor Carys Jones for the grant of a dispensation under the provisions of the Standards Committees (Grant of Dispensations) (Wales) Regulations to speak and make written representations only in respect of business relating to parking on the Green at Llansteffan.
It was reported that a dispensation was sought as Councillor Jones had a personal interest in this matter by virtue of paragraph 10(2)(a)(vi) of the Members Code of Conduct in that she and her family lived directly opposite the area of land in question.
Councillor Jones’ interest was also prejudicial in that a member of the public, with full knowledge of the facts, would reasonably regard that interest as being so significant that it would be likely to prejudice the Councillor’s judgement of the public interest.
Councillor Jones had accordingly requested that a dispensation be granted under Regulations 2 (d) and (f) of the Standards Committees (Grant of Dispensation) (Wales) Regulations 2001.
Following a discussion it was
RESOLVED that dispensation be granted under Regulations 2 (d) and (f) of the Standards Committees (Grant of Dispensation) (Wales) Regulations 2001 to Councillor Carys Jones to SPEAK AND MAKE WRITTEN REPRESENTATIONS ONLY on any council business relating to parking on the Green at Llansteffan and the dispensation be valid until the end of the current electoral term.
