Motions
A motion is a request by an elected member for an issue to be discussed at full council and for a decision to be made.
Members of the public are not able to submit motions. However, you can contact your councillor to ask them to request a motion on a topic of concern or interest to you.

Acceptable motions
A motion may not be accepted if:
- it’s about a matter that the council is not responsible for or does not affect the borough
- it’s defamatory, frivolous or offensive
- it’s substantially the same as a motion which has been put to full council in the past 6 months
- it requires the disclosure of confidential or exempt information
- seeks to pursue or further a complaint against the council where other channels exist to deal with that complaint
View motions
Motions appear on the agenda papers for full council. The agenda papers are published at least 5 working days before the meeting.
