CAXTON Parish Council: Requests for Dispensations PDF 78 KB Additional documents:
Decision: Standards Committee RESOLVED to grant dispensations in regard to matters concerning Ermine Street, Caxton to Caxton Parish Councillors; Richard Bartram, Margaret Harrison, Kirsty Human, Nigel Pearson and Robert Steel and that those dispensations last for the duration of the current Parish Council. Minutes: Members considered applications for dispensation from 5 members of Caxton Parish Council who all lived on Ermine Street, Caxton, which in the main is a typical ribbon development along the historic Ermine Street.
Several members were concerned that Parish Councillors and the Clerk might previously have been given conflicting information concerning proximity and prejudicial interest, which had resulted in this ‘abundance of caution’ application.
It was felt that restriction of the dispensation to matters relating to Ermine Street would suffice and that those members of Caxton Parish Council granted dispensations should be advised within the grant letter that they must still declare an interest in all matters concerning Ermine Street, adding as a matter of good practice that they have been granted a dispensation by the Standards Committee.

GAMLINGAY Parish Council: Requests for Dispensations PDF 84 KB Additional documents:
Decision: Standards Committee RESOLVED to grant dispensations in regard to any matters concerning Gamlingay Community Centre to Gamlingay Parish Councillors; Peter Dolling, David Finnigan, Lewis Girdwood, Maggy Halliday, Jason Nicholas, David Sadler and Ian Simpson, and that those dispensations last for the duration of the current Parish Council. Minutes: Members considered applications for dispensation from 7 members of Gamlingay Parish Council to enable them to participate in determinations within the Parish Council of matters relating to the Gamlingay Community Centre.
The Parish Council as a whole was custodian trustee and as such all Councillors had a personal interest in the Community Centre which would be prejudicial in matters concerning finance or regulatory matters.
It was felt that those members of Gamlingay Parish Council granted dispensations should be advised within the grant letter that they must still declare an interest in all matters concerning the Community Centre, adding as a matter of good practice that they have been granted a dispensation by the Standards Committee.
