Attending
Meetings
Meetings of the Strategy and Resources Policy
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 Policy 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.

the meeting may not accept petitions or questions which
