The question of
whether our elected representatives (City common councillors) are allowed to speak in decision making committee meetings is still a live issue. The rules about who can speak and vote are set by the City standards committee chaired by Catherine McGuinness. (for context see articles from the City AM on
27th November and
13th December last year).
The view of the standards committee has been changing, with our representatives allowed limited participation on meetings with prior approval, but representatives think the standards committee should go further. A petition has been raised and circulated to residents:
The petition is being led by common councilor Mark Bostock. Contact mark if you'd like more information or to sign the petition. I suggest using
write to them (
