Agenda and minutes

There were no apologies for absence.

Councillor Peter Wallace declared a non-financial interest in the application submitted by the Bute Arts Society as he was part of the Ballianlay Choir which took part in a joint concert with The Glasgow Phoenix Choir that had been supported by the Bute Arts Society.  Having taken note of the updated Standards Commission Guidance in relation to declarations (issued on 7 December 2021) with specific reference to section 5.4(c), he did not consider that he had a relevant connection which would preclude him from speaking and voting on this application.
