Ask a question

A register of questions is kept by the constitutional team and is open for public inspection. For further information on the register please contact the constitutional team.

The chair may reject a question if it

• is not about a matter for which the Council has responsibility or which affects the borough
• is defamatory, frivolous or offensive
• is substantially the same as a question which has been put at a meeting of the council assembly in the past six months or three months for executive meetings
• requires the disclosure of confidential or exempt information
• concerns a planning or licensing application
• raises a grievance for which there are other established processes for resolution
• relates to an investigation (whether completed or not) by, or ruling of, the Standards Board for England, the standards committee or the Adjudication panel, in so far as those comments relate to the behaviour or conduct of an individual member or members.
