As a former councillor can I add my two penneth
The Agenda is part of the calling notice to councillors, they are (under the
local government 1972) summoned to the meeting.
I have been ill treated in this respect as as the agenda failed to include
an exclusion under the Admissions to Public Bodies Act 1960 and yet appeared
in the formal minutes of the meeting only after a challenge by myself. An
agenda and Minutes are audited as part of the council financial regulations.
So the record is absolute
