Public Speaking Time/Open Session
In accordance with Procedure Rules Nos.11 and 35 a total period of 10 minutes is allocated for members of the public to address the Committee on any matter relevant to the work 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. It is not required to give notice of the intention to make use of public speaking provision; however, as a matter of courtesy, a period of 24 hours notice is encouraged.
Members of the public should provide 3 clear working days notice, in writing, if they wish to ask a question at the meeting, in order for an informed answer to be given.

Christine Peat addressed the Committee in support of Item 5 – Creation Agreement for a New Public Bridleway in the Parish of Bollington, whilst Andrew Roberts and Patrick Dawson spoke in opposition to the proposal.
