Welcome to Council Papers Online.

From this section of our website you will be able to search for documents from Council meetings after May 2003.

The benefits of having council papers online are numerous. Mainly having documentation more readily available to the public encourages active citizenship and promotes open democracy. Also the need to print off all the papers is greatly reduced and this frees up taxpayers money to be spent in other areas and is beneficial to the environment.

The search pages are simple to use, and the powerful search engine will make it easy to find the information you are looking for. If required, detailed instructions on how to use the search facility can be found by clicking on the help link on the left of this page.

The site also provides easy access to:

• weekly list of meetings
• agendas, minutes and reports from Committee meetings since May 2003
• an archive of agendas and minutes for Committee meetings before May 2003
• how the Council works
• Council Committees
