Issue - meetings

In accordance with paragraph 2.32 of the Committee Procedural Rules and Appendix 7 to the Rules 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 body in question.

Individual members of the public may speak for up to 5 minutes but the Chairman or person presiding will decide how the period of time allocated for public speaking will be apportioned where there are a number of speakers. Members of the public are not required to give notice to use this facility. However, as a matter of courtesy, a period of 24 hours’ notice is encouraged.

Members of the public wishing to ask a question at the meeting should provide at least three clear working days’ notice in writing and should include the question with that notice. This will enable an informed answer to be given.

Councillor D Hough asked about the work done at Wayside Linley Play area. He asked who authorised it, what was the cost, which budget pot did it come from and who has signed off the work.  The Chairman responded that this was outside the remit of the Committee but asked the Interim Monitoring Officer to look into the matter.  The Interim Monitoring Officer asked that Councillor Hough forward the detail to them.
