None declared.

The Standards Committee AGREED to grant a dispensation to Barrington Parish Councillor Rosamund Rhodes-Kemp in respect of issues concerning Barrington Green, with the reminder that she was still to declare an interest in any matters concerning Barrington Green, and to declare that she had received a dispensation for that interest.

Since the early twentieth century Barrington Parish Council has been custodian and sole trustee of The Green Charity Barrington; as a consequence, all members of Barrington Parish Council, as members of the Trust body, have a personal and prejudicial interest preventing them from voting on issues concerning Barrington Green. The Standards Committee had previously granted dispensations from this interest to all other members of Barrington Parish Council and had encouraged new members of the Parish Council to apply for the same.

Barrington Parish Councillor Rosamund Rhodes-Kemp had applied for a dispensation in the understanding that the standards regime was changing and that the dispensation could not be granted beyond the end of the current regime. The Standards Committee AGREED to grant a dispensation to Councillor Rosamund Rhodes-Kemp in respect of issues concerning Barrington Green, with the reminder that she was still to declare an interest in any matters concerning Barrington Green, and to declare that she had received a dispensation for that interest.
