11. Policies for outside Committees, Membership,

(Council may wish to exclude the Public for this item)
Cllr. B Allen said he was very concerned specifically
about the re-planning of the whole of this local area.
Most concerned that there was a committee which was
discussing matters which the Parish Council had an
interest in but had no knowledge of. Cllr. R Allen found
this very confusing. Felt the Parish Council needed to
have a policy on this. He was concerned that these
organisations meetings were held in the Council offices,
leading people to assume it was under the auspices of
the Parish Council. Cllr. Warder suggested that if
anyone attends a meeting, then details of that meeting
should be submitted to the Parish Council. It was
suggested that this matter be referred to the next P & F
meeting for consideration and possible recommendations
for the future. Also to consider the possibility of
producing a code of conduct to cover these situations.
