Declarations of Interest – Members are asked to consider whether they have an interest to declare in relation to any item on the agenda for this meeting. Any Member making a declaration of interest should indicate whether it is a financial or non-financial interest and include some information on the nature of the interest. Advice may be sought from Officers prior to the meeting taking place.   

1.  Apologies for Absence

2.  Civic Government (Scotland) Act 1982 – Hearing – Application for Window Cleaner’s Licence      

The Committee is invited to consider an application for the renewal of a window cleaner’s licence lodged by Keiran Smith (from Cromarty Ward).

The relevant papers will be circulated to the Committee on the day of the meeting.  A copy of the Council’s Hearings Procedure is appended hereto.  The Area Solicitor advises that as the Committee is acting in a quasi-judicial capacity when determining the application, it is inappropriate to make any recommendation.
