Resolved:

That the Minutes of the meetings detailed above be approved and signed as correct records by the Chairman.

The Chairman wished to thank all Officers for the support received for Licensing Sub Committee hearings and for the Councillors that had sat on the hearings.  The provision for a fourth (reserve) member attending for each hearing was very useful as there had been occasions when one member had not attended and one where a possible conflict of interest had been highlighted at the last minute.  Being a reserve was also a useful learning tool for newer members who get to experience the briefing, the hearing and the decision making afterwards.  Arrangements would be made for training for Cllr Smale and any other Councillors who were interested in a refresher.

It had also been agreed that notices would be displayed outside of rooms when a hearing in progress and a further notice would be displayed when that meeting was in closed session.  There had been a recent incidence when a few Members had walked into a hearing that was in closed session in error as they had not checked the location details of the meeting they were due to attend.
