PLANNING COMMITTEE RESIGNATION
October 13, 2005 2:57 PM
Cllr Geoff Williams who was appointed to Basildon Council's Development Control and Traffic Management Committee in May this year has resigned from the committee after rulings that he had a "prejudicial interest" in the George Hurd Centre redevelopment plans and the associated relocation of the centre to a site in Audley Way. Speaking at the interest declaration stage of the committee meeting on 11th October, Geoff said: "The current legislation inhibits campaigning councillors from speaking out for their constituents. There will be a number of applications for Nethermayne Ward over the next few months some of them on items which I have actively campaigned against. In oder that I can continue to represent my constituents' views and campaign on their behalf, I feel that I have no alternative but to resign from the committee"
