However, the council is keen to encourage public attendance at meetings and will therefore provide an opportunity for local registered electors to show they are committed to community engagement.

 

A maximum of 5 minutes is allowed per person to speak, and the total length of time afforded for public participation at each meeting shall be no more than 20 minutes, subject to an extension of this time, in exceptional circumstances, being agreed by the Chairperson.

 

Relevant Legislation: Local Government Act, s 100.
