Information/Briefing Sessions

Information/Briefing Sessions

Information/briefing sessions with Elected Members and council staff are, by their nature, a non-compulsory meeting of the council.

These sessions are designed to provide history, context or additional information to assist council members to carry out their functions.

Members of the public are able to attend as observers only and are not to take part in the discussion.

Any information/briefing sessions closed to the public will be specified and will include a reason.
