Public Speaking Time/Open Session
A total period of 15 minutes is allocated for members of the public to make a statement(s) on any matter that falls within the remit of the Committee.
Individual members of the public may speak for up to 5 minutes, but the Chairman will decide how the period of time allocated for public speaking will be apportioned, where there are a number of speakers.
Note: In order for officers to undertake any background research, it would be helpful if members of the public contacted the Scrutiny officer listed at the foot of the agenda, at least one working day before the meeting to provide brief details of the matter to be covered.
Minutes:
Mr Stuart Redgard of Wilmslow attended the meeting to seek the Committee’s advice about the background to the Romani caravan bequeathed by the late George Bramwell Evans, a radio broadcaster, to Wilmslow Urban District Council on his death in the 1940’s but which in November 2012, had been gifted by Cheshire East Council to Bradford Metropolitan Borough Council and was now located in the Industrial Museum Bradford.
The Chairman informed Mr Redgard that this matter was beyond the scope of the Committee but undertook to pass his details onto the relevant officer within the Council to pursue the matter.
