Making a deputation to meetings

The details given below are a brief summary of the scheme for making deputations to various Council meetings, other than meetings of the Planning Development Control Committee, for which a separate scheme exists.

• If you live or work in the Borough you may speak on a matter which is due for discussion by the Executive, the Scrutiny Board or its Review Panels or one of the Council's Committees (other than the Planning Development Control Committee for which a separate scheme exists).
• You may also speak at an ordinary meeting of the Council on a matter which relates to the Council's powers and functions.
• Your deputation may be presented by some other person speaking on your behalf.
• Your application to make a deputation (143 Kb) must be made in writing and be with the Head of Democratic Services at the Civic Offices, Fareham by noon two working days before the meeting.
• The time available to hear all deputations at any one meeting is 30 minutes. Each deputation will be allowed up to 10 minutes, but if more than three deputations are to be made, then the time available will be shared equally between them.

For further advice and guidance, please contact Democratic Services on 01329 236100 or e-mail democraticservices@fareham.gov.uk.
