Public participation in meetings

The Council encourages people to engage with the Council through a number of public participation schemes. 

Public Question Time 

The public can ask a question at a full Council meeting or at most of its Committees. 

Arranging to Speak at a Committee Meeting 

Only available for either Planning Committee or Licensing Committee. The registration is on a 'first come, first served' basis.

Public Petitions Scheme
