You can attend the meetings in the Civic Centre where you'll be able to observe decision-making processes in action.

Dates, times and locations of the meetings are publicised in advance on the council meetings calendar. Alternatively, meetings are posted in the Civic Centre on a ground floor notice board on a weekly basis.
