The County Council normally meets four times a year. Important decisions are taken by committees and sub-committees.
Meetings are open to the public.
You can find out when meetings are to take place and see agendas and papers by contacting our Information Centre in Winchester. Members of the public cannot take part in debates and discussions at County Council or committee meetings. But we do have special arrangements so that individuals and organisations can ask to make a presentation to the County Council or a committee on an issue of concern to them which they think councillors should know about. This is not the only way to make your views known. You might first want to get in touch with the officers dealing with the issue that concerns you.
