Request

  1. Please can you provide details of all the elected officials in attendance at every official pre planning meeting over the last 24 months.
  2. Can you confirm whether it is usual practice for the opposition group spokesman to be present at these official pre planning briefing meetings and if so how often the person in this role has attended these meetings over the last 24 months?

Response

  1. The Council does not hold this information as records are not kept of attendance at the Chairman’s briefing meetings.
  2. Yes, the Chairman, Vice-Chairman and Opposition Spokesman of the Planning Committee are invited to the Chairman’s official briefings.   Their substitutes would also be invited where this applies.  As stated above, the Council does not record attendance at these meetings and therefore this information is not held.
