Cabinet Site Visit Procedure

I should like to point out that this site visit is being conducted in accordance with the cabinet’s site visit protocol.

The principal purpose of a site visit is to enable the cabinet to conduct a visual inspection in order to help them in making an informed decision in an open, accountable and transparent manner.

As cabinet leader and site visit chairman I will permit public speaking by up to four persons representing as wide a range of views and opinions as possible.  I will also accept representations from any ward councillor who is present. Each speaker will be limited to no more than three minutes.

A report on this matter will be considered at the next meeting of the cabinet which will take place in the council chamber on 5th January 2012 beginning at 7.00 p.m.

General order of speaking

1.     Officer to introduce and summarise the proposal and issues;

2.     Representations from persons raising points in support;

3.     Representations from persons raising points of concern; and

4.     Representations from any ward councillor.
