A map of Exeter, showing the site of County Hall is available here - 26.5 Kbytes. Committees and Sub-Committees also meet normally at Exeter. The full Council meets in February to agree the budget and set the level of Council Tax for the following year. In addition the Committee Secretary will be present to record the decisions of the Committee and to advise on procedure matters and to assist anyone else who attends. Members normally sit together in their political groups.
Seats are normally available at the back of the room for members of the press and the public.
Meetings of the County Council and its committees are normally open to the public. By law members of the public have a right of access to certain types of information held by the Council. For example, you can see the reports going to the meetings to see if they are accurate. There may be occasions when the public is asked to leave a meeting or where they may not be able to see a particular report because it has to be discussed in private. If that happens the reason has to be given in advance.
