Attending meetings
Meetings are held in public and you are welcome to attend and observe.
Find out when and where meetings are taking place:
- Check the meeting calendar for dates and times
- Most meetings are held in Oxford Town Hall
Occasionally, some matters are discussed in private, and attendees may be asked to leave. This is rare and will be clearly indicated in the meeting's agenda.
Participating in meetings
If the Chair agrees, you are able to speak for up to 5 minutes on any item on the public part of the agenda.
If you wish to do this, you must register to speak by 4pm on the day of the meeting.
You can register by:
- Email: Democraticservices@oxford.gov.uk
- Phone: 01865 252275
Please provide your name and the agenda item you wish to discuss.
The Committee Services Officer can circulate relevant written material to councillors and officers if it is sent to democraticservices@oxford.gov.uk at least two working days before the meeting.
Accessing meeting agendas
Stay informed about what will be discussed:

Recording meetings
You can record meetings using your own equipment. We have a filming and recording protocol, which we ask you to follow to minimise disruption to the meeting.
If you want to record audio or video, please talk to the clerk before the meeting starts.
