Their record

From the council's own meeting papers and its committee list. Attendance covers the period shown below; declarations come from summarised meetings; questions and motions count only papers that say they asked or moved them.

Attendance

Meetings since 7 November 2025 where the council recorded who attended and they were expected as a member. Sending a substitute counts as an absence; attending as someone else's substitute isn't counted.

Attended 18 of 21 meetings (86%).

Among the council's 51 councillors who were expected at five or more meetings over the same 12 months, the middle attendance figure was 89%. Attendance doesn't show everything a councillor does: some sit on more committees than others, and absence can be for illness, caring or council business elsewhere.

Questions, motions and mentions

Agenda items that name them. An item is marked as a question or motion only when the papers say they asked or moved it. Found by searching the papers for their name, so a few may be about someone with a similar name.
