Register of interests guidance note

These records are from May 2010 when this system was automated. Before that date, individual declarations will be recorded in the Minutes of the meeting at which the declaration was made.

Note – If you own shares or other form of equity in a company or other body which has a place of business in the Council’s area, you will need to consider whether the interest is to be included.  Identify the nominal value – this is the amount of shares indicated on the certificate, not the market value.  If this exceeds £25,000, you need to register the name of the company or body.  If this is less than £25,000 but your holding is more than 1% of the total issued share capital, you also need to register the name of the company or body.
