The Deputy Chair welcomed Members and members of the public to the Council meeting.

The Deputy Chair reported that she was chairing the Council meeting as the Mayor, Councillor June Burns, did not feel able to attend, given that her husband, Paul, had recently passed away. On behalf of the Council, the Deputy Chair extended her deepest sympathies to June and her family at this very sad time.

The Deputy Chair reminded Members and visitors in the public gallery that if they wished to film or record the proceedings of the meeting, out of courtesy to those present, it would be appreciated if they would indicate that intention.
