Public participation Council Procedure Rules Sections 3 and 6. Members of the public who live or work in the district may put questions or make statements to members of the Cabinet or any committee.
As this is an extraordinary meeting of the Council, statements and questions must be limited to the business to be transacted at the meeting.
(Note: The maximum time to be set aside for this item is 30 minutes, but if all questions/statements are dealt with sooner, or if there are no questions/statements, the Council will proceed to the next business.)
Each person may ask one question or make one statement only. A total of five minutes will be allowed for the question to be put and answered or the statement made. If a question is raised, one supplementary question will be allowed provided that it arises directly from the reply and the overall time limit of five minutes is not exceeded.
If a statement is made, then the Chair may allow the Leader of the Council, or other member to whom they refer the matter, a right of reply.
The Constitution allows that a person who wishes to speak must register at least 15 minutes before the time the meeting is scheduled to start. We have a corporate and social responsibility for the safety of our staff, our councillors and visiting members of the public. Wetherefore, strongly urge anyone who wishes to register to speak to notify Democratic Services by 9am on the day of the meeting so that advice can be given on the arrangements in place.
As an alternative to addressing the meeting in person, written questions may be submitted by members of the public to the Monitoring Officer no later than 10am on Monday 16 May 2022. The written notification should detail the full question to be asked at the meeting of the Council. |
