Attendance

Meetings since 27 October 2025 where the council recorded who attended and they were expected as a member. Sending a substitute counts as an absence; attending as someone else's substitute isn't counted.

Attended 37 of 37 meetings (100%).

Among the council's 73 councillors who were expected at five or more meetings over the same 12 months, the middle attendance figure was 82%. Attendance doesn't show everything a councillor does: some sit on more committees than others, and absence can be for illness, caring or council business elsewhere.

Questions, motions and mentions

Agenda items that name them. An item is marked as a question or motion only when the papers say they asked or moved it. Found by searching the papers for their name, so a few may be about someone with a similar name.
