How can I contact my Ward Councillor?
Copeland Councillors have their own webpages, these pages have
Councillor contact details and details
of which committees and panels they sit on. Individual Councillors,
or jointly with the other members for a ward, can expand their
pages to display information about specific ward matters and/or use
them to interact with residents.
Can I attend Council or Committee Meetings?.. and can I speak
at Meetings?
Any members of the public can attend meetings of the Full
Council, Executive, Overview and Scrutiny Committees and Panels. If
you wish, you can ask a question at a meeting of the full Council,
but you need to give our Democratic Services section at least 7
working days notice.
Members of the public can also speak at meetings of the Planning
Panel on applications for planning permission which they have
objected to. To do this you need to give our Development Services
section at least 6 working days notice before the meeting.
