     the meeting room for the debate and decision on this matter.

     debate and vote on this matter.
     Pursuant to section 175E(4) of the Local Government Act 2009, the remaining Councillors gave
     consideration to whether the conflict was a real conflict or perceived conflict and whether Cr Stockwell

     meeting for the debate and vote on this matter.
