Members were requested to declare the existence and nature of any disclosable pecuniary interests and/or other interests, not already on their register of interests, in any item on the agenda and withdraw from the meeting at the appropriate time.

Councillors David Downes, Steve Fritchley and Sandra Peake all declared a significant other interest in Item 11 – Appointment of Design Consultants for Shirebrook Crematorium, as Members of Shirebrook Town Council.  All three Councillors left the room for the consideration of the item and did not participate in the discussion or vote.
