Issue - meetings

The Mayor announced that given the number of members of the public who wished to attend the Council meeting and the very lengthy agenda, she had decided to change the running order of the original agenda.

Given the similarity in subject matters in the public petition received and the Motion submitted by Councillor Morris - Openreach, the Mayor had decided to move Councillor Morris’ Motion up the agenda to be the first Motion considered. This would allow the opportunity for members of the public interested in the item to then leave the meeting if they wished.

The Mayor had also decided that the Motion submitted by Councillor Carlin - Support for Calling for a Ceasefire in Palestine and Israel, should then be considered next. This would save those members of the public with an interest in that Motion having to wait until nearly the end of the meeting.
