In consultation with the Chair of the Standards Committee the Deputy Chief Executive has taken urgent action under the constitution to a grant a dispensation to Councillors Meller and Morrison in relation to matters that involve the Cheadle Towns Fund Board.

The scope of the proposed dispensation would be to permit the two councillors to remain in the room, be able to speak at any meeting they are attending as a member (or as a substitute) and be able to vote on any matters that they would otherwise be precluded from doing so by virtue of having a personal and prejudicial interest in the matter.

The decision was taken as urgent action as a matter relating to the Cheadle Towns Fund Board was due to be considered at a committee of the Council in advance of this meeting of the Committee.
