Deputations at a Full Council meeting

 
An individual or group can apply to speak to the Council on behalf of others by applying to the Council in writing. This is called applying to bring a deputation to speak to the Council.

When you write to apply to speak to the Council, you need to include:

  • the full contact details (including the home address and telephone number) of the main applicant
  • details of the issue you wish to raise.
Your application must reach the Council five working days before the date of the Full Council meeting. This is usually on the Wednesday one week before the meeting.

Send your application by post, or fax or email to:

The Chief Executive (for the attention of the Committee Services Team)
Woolwich Town Hall
Wellington Street
London SE18 6PW
Fax: 020 8921 5864
Email: committees@greenwich.gov.uk

What happens next?

The Mayor will decide whether to accept your application and you will be advised of the outcome. If your request is denied, the Council will give you the reasons.

You can have any number of people in your deputation, but only two may speak. For each group, the speech shouldn't be longer than seven minutes in total. If you need more time, you will need to apply for an extension at least 24 hours before the meeting.
