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. Decision: None received.
However, Councillor Calvert informed the Committee that she is no longer the Chair of Local Services 2 You Limited, which has a grant being considered under item 8, as there may be a delay in the Council being formally notified. Councillor Eastwood also wanted the Committee to be aware he was an active member of the Scouts for his area given the Lepton Scouts Group were also having a grant considered under item 8.

Admission of the public 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. Decision: AGREED – That all items be considered in public session. |
|||
|
Deputations / Petitions The Committee 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. Decision: There were no deputations or petitions. |

Comoodle Project Update The District Committee will hear more about Comoodle. Communities have the potential to pull together and make a real difference in their neighbourhoods. Yet masses of stuff, space and skills are unused or not used to capacity. Often we don’t know what’s available, or how to access it. The Comoodle Project can help.
Contact: Duggs Carre Comoodle Programme Leader Tel: 01484 221000 email: duggs.carre@kirklees.gov.uk
Decision: The District Committee received an informative presentation from Duggs Carre, Comoodle Manager. Duggs encouraged Members and residents to register their interest with the initiative in order that communities can access (borrow and share) stuff, space and skills that are unused or not used to capacity.
AGREED – The Chair thanked the officer for his informative presentation and encouraged everyone to sign up and take part in the initiative. |
