 (Councillor K P Hughes declared an interest, in that he had a grandson and grandaughter attending Ysgol Cylch y Garn which had been identified as a Band A school in the Strategic Outline Programme.  He remained at the meeting and took part in the voting thereon following guidance from the Monitoring Officer that, at this stage, the personal interest is not prejudicial but is likely to become prejudicial at the next stage of the process).

(Councillor H E Jones declared an interest in the matter in view of the fact that he was a School Governor and Local Member, remained at the meeting and took part in the voting thereon following guidance from the Monitoring Officer that School Governors have a personal interest but not a prejudicial interest under the Code and that Local Members have neither a personal nor a prejudicial interest when the Executive is making a collective decision).
