That the Committee recommends to Council  the formal adoption of byelaws relating to skin piercing subject to the above amendments being adopted before the byelaws are passed. 

The Community and Business Protection Manager introduced a report to recommend the adoption of Model Byelaws (as drafted by Welsh Government) in relation to skin piercing in accordance with provisions of the Local Government

(Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1982, Part VIII, sections 14 and 17.  She provided background information and context and referred to the key points as detailed in the report.

Councillor Alasdair Ibbotson said he supported the proposed byelaws, however, he moved that the following amendments be made before they were passed:

• in part 1, change b) and c) to i) and ii), and consequently change d) to b)

• in part 1, insert "clean" means previously unused either (i) in the case of a single use item, at all, and (ii) in the case of a reusable item, since last thoroughly washed, disinfected and sterilised as appropriate and kept in a hygenic condition since"

• In part 2(1)(h), delete "may" and replace with "must". Insert "assistance" before second "animals".

• In part 3(1)(b)(i)(aa) after "wherever possible", insert "and in all cases where a new premises is established after the commencement of these bylaws".

Councillor Ibbotson moved an amendment to the recommendation in the report which was ‘to support the recommendation to Council of the formal adoption of byelaws relating to skin piercing subject to the above amendments being adopted before the byelaws are adopted’.   This was seconded by Councillor Gillian Brockley and when put to the vote was carried.
