Attending
Meetings
Meetings of Sub-Committee have to be held as physical meetings and are open to
the public. Meetings are normally held at Sheffield Town
Hall.
If you would like to attend the meeting,
please report to an Attendant in the Foyer at the Town Hall where
you will be directed to the meeting room. However, it
would be appreciated if you could register to attend, in advance of
the meeting, by emailing committee@sheffield.gov.uk, as this will assist
with the management of attendance at the meeting.
PLEASE NOTE: The meeting rooms in
the Town Hall have a limited capacity. We are unable to guarantee
entrance to the meeting room for observers, as priority will be
given to registered speakers and those that have registered to
attend.

Public Questions and Petitions
The arrangements for dealing
with questions and petitions at Sub-Committee meetings are as
follows:-
If you wish to attend a meeting
and ask a question or present a petition, you must submit the
question/petition in writing by 9.00 a.m. at least 2 clear working
days in advance of the date of the meeting, by email to the
following address: committee@sheffield.gov.uk. E.g. For meetings held
on a Wednesday, questions/petitions will need to be received by
9.00 a.m. on the Monday of that week. Questions/petitions submitted
after the deadline will be asked at the meeting subject to the
discretion of the Chair. You will also be asked to provide a
contact email and/or telephone number. (Details of how we
will use and keep your information can be
found here).
The Chair of the meeting has
discretion as to how questions and petitions are presented at the
meeting and as to whether you are invited to ask your question or
present a petition at the meeting or
they are read out at the meeting. A response to the question or
petition will be given by the Chair or Council
officer. If you are not able to attend the meeting, your
question/petition may be referred to the Chair, and a written
answer/response will be provided to you.
Where a submitted question or
petition cannot be answered because time does not allow, or where a
Member undertakes to provide a written
answer/response, the written answer/response will be provided to
you within ten working days of the meeting and will be
published on the Council website.
