Representations to Council
Any member of the public who lives in the area served by the County Council may make oral representations on any matter relating to the functions of the Council. Such representations will be limited to 3 minutes, within the overall time allowed of 30 minutes. While your views and comments may be acknowledged by the Chair of the meeting, you will not receive detailed ‘answers’ to any points included in your presentation.
If you wish to make such a representation, you should, via email or letter, submit a brief outline of the points or issues you wish to raise before 12 noon 4 working days before the meeting takes place.
