Committees and their Meetings

The committees are:

Committee minutes

The minutes of each committee meeting are reviewed and accepted at meetings of full Council which are held on the first Thursday of every month. Notices of meetings are posted in our office notice board and in the council meetings section of our website.

The quickest and easiest way to find agendas and minutes is to view our Council Meetings Calendar, here you will find all papers associated with each meeting linked to the calendar entry.

All of our documents are stored in our document management system (DMS) where you can also view our agendas and minutes. You can set the filter to select documents of interest.

Attending meetings

Members of the public are welcome to attend any Council or Committee meeting. At all meetings there is an opportunity for questions to be asked.

Occasionally there may be times when it is necessary to exclude the public and press from meetings, but only when confidential issues need to be discussed, for example legal, staffing or commercially sensitive matters.

The Council Office, the Public Hall and the St Laurence Room all have step-free access and a hearing loop will be available for meetings.
