A DECISION on converting a Cardigan house contaminated by a petrol leak from an underground pipe was deferred at the last minute when it was realised a council committee was not quorate.
Cardigan county councillor John Adams-Lewis had called for the development control committee to defer an application by the local authority to convert Norwood, on Morgan Street, into two flats for temporary, move-on or supported accommodation until environmental health and legal matters were resolved.
A roll call had been carried out to check there were enough councillors present for valid proceedings – with the required 11 still in attendance towards the end of three and half hour meeting – but when it came to the vote one member abstained having missed some of the discussion.
