How questions or petitions will be heard at the Ordinary Full Council meeting
All participants must be able to attend the Full Council meeting, in person or (where unavoidable circumstances dictate) virtually, to present their petition, slots are not able to be passed to others, but can be moved to a later meeting if reasonable.
Ordinary Full Council meetings take place at Old Marylebone Town Hall, 97-113 Marylebone Road, NW1 5PT; with the meeting commencing at 7pm.
Attendees will be asked to arrive at the location by 6:40pm at the latest so that they can be met, briefed and seated.
30 minutes will be made available for the item, towards the start of the meeting.
Each petitioner will have up to two minutes to present their petition and the relevant Cabinet Member or Committee Chair will have up to two minutes to respond. The two minutes should be used to explain the subject of the petition only, nothing else, even if it is considered a related matter. The Lord Mayor has the right to stop any speech on a topic which is not considered relative to the petition presented.
Petitioners will be able to stay, after the item, for the remainder of the Council meeting, if they so wish, but they will be asked to move to the public gallery
