Council Public Meetings

Although the majority of our Council committee meetings are once again being held in a venue, in order to continue to offer easier access by the public we are providing a virtual element for these wherever possible.

You can use the links below to join and observe any public committee meetings.

If you wish to speak at a meeting, please contact Democratic Services 3 clear working days before the meeting, no later than 5pm. You will be asked to submit your written statement or questions in writing.

Email: democraticservices@somerset.gov.uk

Phone: 01823 357628.

At the Chair’s invitation you may ask questions, make statements or comments about any matter on the Committee’s agenda – providing you have given the required notice. You may also present a petition on any matter within the Committee’s remit.

The length of public question time will be no more than 30 minutes in total. A slot for Public Question Time is set aside near the beginning of the meeting, however, questions or statements about any matter on the agenda for this meeting may be taken at the time when each matter is considered.

You may not take a direct part in the debate, and the the Chair will decide when public participation is to finish.

Meeting Etiquette:

• Only speak when invited to do so by the Chair
• Switch off your video and microphone after you have spoken
