Attending Meetings
Meetings of the 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.
Alternatively, you can observe the meeting remotely by clicking
on the ‘view the webcast’ link provided on the meetings
page of the website.
Public
Questions and Petitions
The arrangements for dealing with questions and
petitions at 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.
Please note that the Chair of the meeting may not
accept petitions or questions which
relate to:-
- matters not being within the responsibility of
the Local Authority or which affects the City or
its inhabitants;
- judicial or
quasi-judicial matters;
- individual planning/licence/grant applications
or appeals;
- named officers or Members of
the Council;
- confidential matters of the type referred to in
Schedule 12A to the Local Government Act, 1972;
or
- matters of an irrelevant, repetitious,
defamatory, frivolous or offensive nature or a general
misuse of the opportunity.
