DISPENSATION
SECTION 33 OF THE LOCALISM ACT 2011
Pursuant to section 33 of the Localism Act 2011, I hereby confirm the grant of a dispensation to all members and co-opted members of Newtown Parish
Council, allowing them to speak and vote in relation to the following matters:
1. Any allowance, payment or indemnity for members;
2. Any ceremonial honour given to members; and
3. Settling the Council Tax (Precept)
The dispensation is required because the named members may have a disclosable pecuniary interest by virtue of the description set out in the Schedule to the Relevant Authorities (Disclosable Pecuniary Interests) Regulations 2012, made by the Secretary of State in accordance with Section 30 of the Localism Act 2011 .
The dispensation is granted for the following reasons:
a) So many Councillors would have a Disclosable Pecuniary Interests and thus if they were prohibited from participating it would impede the transaction of the business (in relation to point 3);
b) Granting of the dispensation would be in the interests of the inhabitations of this Authorities area;
c) It is appropriate to grant this dispensation.
This dispensation will remain in existence until the next elections in May 2026
Members given a dispensation:
