Published on 21 March 2024
Answers to some of the frequently asked questions about the Council Meeting.
Why do we have to register to attend the Council Meeting on 25 March?
We have limited capacity in the Council Chamber, and registration will ensure we do not exceed capacity so we can provide a safe environment for all attendees and participants.
Why do we need to show identification when we attend?
To ensure we can ensure those people who have registered can attend the meeting.
Is there a set time before each council meeting when we will know whether it is online or in person?
This will be announced when the meeting agenda is made public, six days prior to a Council Meeting.
A council meeting would likely be closed to the public only after the agenda is publicised if something indicated we might have safety issues. View the Council agenda here.
Is this the only meeting that will be hybrid, or will other meetings be hybrid too?
We will assess this before each Council Meeting and publicise on our website and social media channels prior to the day of the meeting.
