All councillors meet together as the Council.
Council meets approximately every eight weeks, usually at 6.30pm.
Occasionally there are special or extraordinary meetings arranged
in between.
Council meetings are chaired by the Mayor, or
in their absence, the Deputy Mayor. Council is responsible for
making decisions which are outside of the budget or policy
framework.
Meetings of the Council are open to the public
except where exempt information is being discussed. We endeavour to
livestream public meetings to the council’s YouTube channel.
Videos will then remain available for six months after the meeting,
although the council reserves the right to remove a video if it
deems it necessary.
If attending a meeting, you may be visible on
the livestream and video. If you do not wish to be visible on
camera, please speak to Democratic Services on arrival.
