In the minutes
What the minutes record Wyatt moving, seconding, asking or saying on each decision, in the minutes’ own words. Passages that name more than one councillor, or a member of the public, are left out.
Subjects in what the minutes record
- Parking and traffic8 Oct 2026
- Raised concerns
“Councillor M Wyatt echoed the concerns raised by the speakers, stating that it was extremely concerning that it was going to be over-development of the area. He noted the area was heavily congested and that parking on Waterworks Road (specifically from the bus stop to the junction that led out to Bardon Road) after 5:00pm was difficult.”

How this is worked out
Everything here is read from North West Leicestershire’s published planning committee minutes, 17 meetings from June 2025 to October 2026. A councillor is matched across meetings by the council’s own member number where it has one, otherwise by full name.
Each vote shows how it is known. Named in the minutes: the minutes, or the council’s own recorded vote, list each member with their vote. From the count and the names: the minutes give the numbers and name the members in the minority, and every member present is known. All members present in favour: the minutes say every member voted for it and the members present are known. No vote against recorded: the minutes record the decision with no vote against, no abstention and no count, at a council whose minutes print a divided vote when there is one, so each member present is counted for. Unanimous vote: the minutes call the decision unanimous, or give a count with no one against and no one abstaining, and each member present is counted for. From the meeting recording: the vote was heard on the council’s recording of the meeting and closes exactly with the members present. Where none of these holds, the vote is left as “Not recorded” and is not counted.
Votes are on the resolution the committee passed, so a vote for is a vote with the majority. A vote is a decision on the application in front of the committee, not a statement of the councillor’s views. A percentage is shown only with five or more votes, decisions or meetings behind it.
