Public speaking at meetings

If you would like to speak at a meeting you must advise Member Services no less than two clear working days before the beginning of the meeting by emailing memberservices@newforestnpa.gov.uk or calling 01590 646647.

Each individual or group (having appointed a spokesperson) who have indicated that they wish to speak can do so for up to three minutes.

Following debate by the committee before a decision is made, the spokesperson will be given the option of a one minute right of reply, although no new issues should be raised at this stage.

More information on the speaking procedure for our meetings can be found in Part 1, Schedule 2 of our Standing Orders.

More information about the speaking procedure for the Planning Development Control Committee in particular can be found in Part 2, Schedule 2 of the Standing Orders.

If you have any further queries please contact Member Services as above.
