Councillor Nash declared an interest and explained that since the meeting of 15 December information had been supplied to him which in his opinion brought into question the quality of the investigation behind the hearing. Further he received on Friday 28 January a notification from Norfolk Constabulary that at his request they would be contacting the Executive of the Borough Council to discuss one of the allegations made in relation to this case. In view of the information supplied to him independently, he was of the opinion that his position on this Panel had been significantly comprised and his continued involvement in this hearing would be inappropriate.
Councillor Nash was advised by the Monitoring Officer to vacate the seat on the basis that he had declared an interest and to allow the meeting to be quorate she invited Councillor Holmes to take the seat. |
