Who we may share your information with
The public questioner’s name and ward are listed in the published agenda, announced at the meeting and recorded in the meeting minutes. Agenda paperwork is held on the council’s committee management system, externally hosted by Modern.Gov.
Participants in a virtual meeting will be either filmed or audio recorded dependent on how they choose to access the meeting. The recording is stored on the council’s YouTube webpage.
How long we store your information
Speakers’ personal details collected by Democratic Services are stored until the minutes of the meeting at which the individual spoke are approved as a true and correct record. This usually happens at the next meeting. Speakers’ names and ward details are retained as a permanent record in the minutes of the meeting and agenda paperwork.
The video recording of the meeting is stored on the council’s YouTube page for two years.
