APPLICATION FOR DISPENSATION BY CLLR T DEVICHAND PDF 315 KB Additional documents: Minutes: The Committee considered an application submitted by Community Councillor T Devichand for the grant of a dispensation under the provisions of the Standards Committees (Grant of Dispensations) (Wales) Regulations to speak, vote and make written representations on matters relating to the removal of 20mph speed limits and parking restrictions on Maescanner Road and Dafen Road, Llanelli.
It was reported that a dispensation was sought as Councillor Devichand had been requested by her constituents to advocate on their behalf and that she had a personal and prejudicial interest in this matter as she lived in Dafen Road and was affected by the proposal. Cllr Devichand had requested that dispensation be granted on the grounds that:-
· Her participation in any such council business would not damage public confidence and · Her interest was common to a significant proportion of the public
Councillor Devichand had accordingly requested that a dispensation be granted under Regulations 2 (d) and (e) of the Standards Committees (Grant of Dispensation) (Wales) Regulations 2001.
The Legal Services Manager referred to the second ground submitted by Councillor Devichand in support of her dispensation application and advised that it was not relevant to the application on the basis it was a local matter and therefore was not common to a significant proportion of the public.
Following a discussion it was:-
RESOLVED
