Formal Meetings

Council and Committee meetings are held in Sandbach Town Hall at 7:00 pm, and are open to the press and public with a period designated for public questions.

If items on the agenda are considered to be of a confidential nature, the committee will vote for such an item to be considered as a ‘Part 2’ item, and it will then be considered excluding the press and public.

Public questions are allowed, at the discretion of the Meeting Chair, and if the question relates to an item on the agenda at that meeting. If a member of the public wishes to ask a question at a meeting about a matter which is not on the agenda, it is necessary to submit the question 3 clear days in advance of the meeting so that the necessary preparations can be made.

All formal meetings are recorded, if a member of public wishes to not be recorded it must be clearly stated. For more information about recording during meetings click here.

Unless the Council’s Standing Orders are suspended, questions and comments can only be taken during the formal public question time allotted on the Agenda.

The public are not allowed to contribute to the meeting other than at this time.
