Procedures

Neighbourhood Council meetings are formal events with a clear purpose - to make decisions. To ensure meetings run smoothly the Neighbourhood Council operates by following set procedures known as Standing Orders.

Meetings start at 7:15pm and there is a time limited period set aside for public participation where the public or community groups can participate and bring matters to the attention of the Neighbourhood Council, seek advice and comment on local issues of interest. These procedures are detailed under Standing Orders.

If the Neighbourhood Council is required to make a decision or support a scheme, the matter must be included as a specific agenda item. The agenda item will explain the matter and may include a summary of any action the Neighbourhood Council is requested to consider taking.

Agenda items must be submitted to the Clerk & Responsible Finance Officer at least one week before the date of the meeting, as this is when the agenda will be produced and printed.
