Public and councillor questions and responses

Submitting your question

• A maximum of two questions per meeting can be submitted to the Director of Corporate Governance, Property and Procurement.
• Questioners must either be Derby Council Tax or Non-Domestic Rate Payers.
• In accordance with the Council's Constitution, your question may be rejected if:
  • it is not about a matter for which the local authority has responsibility for or affects the city
  • it is defamatory, frivolous or offensive
  • it is substantially the same as a question which has been put at a meeting of Council in the past six months
  • it requires the disclosure of exempt or confidential information.

The deadline for submitting questions is at midday, five clear working days prior to the Council meeting – if the meeting is on a Wednesday evening, questions should be submitted by noon on Tuesday of the previous week.
