Agenda and decisions

To receive apologies for absence from Cabinet Members who are unable to attend this meeting.

The Councillors will be asked to say if there are any items on the Agenda in which they have disclosable pecuniary interests, which would prevent them from participating in any discussion of the items or participating in any vote upon the items, or any other interests.

Most debates take place in public. This only changes when there is a need to consider certain issues, for instance, commercially sensitive information or details concerning an individual. You will be told at this point whether there are any items on the Agenda which are to be discussed in private.

The Cabinet will receive any petitions and hear any deputations from members of the public. A deputation is where up to five people can attend the meeting and make a presentation on some particular issue of concern. A member of the public can also hand in a petition at the meeting but that petition should relate to something on which the body has powers and responsibilities.

In accordance with Council Procedure Rule 10 (2), Members of the Public should provide at least 24 hours’ notice of presenting a deputation.

Due to current Covid-19 restrictions, Members of the Public may

submit written questions to the Leader, and/or Cabinet Members.

Any questions should be emailed to

executive.governance@kirklees.gov.uk

no later than 10.00am on Thursday 22 October 2020.

In accordance with Council Procedure Rule 11(5), the period allowed

for the asking and answering of public questions shall not exceed 15

minutes. A maximum of 4 questions per person may be submitted.

Cabinet will receive any questions from Elected Members (via

remote access).

In accordance with Executive Procedure Rule 2.3 (2.3.1.6) a period

of up to 30 minutes will be allocated.
