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.
Meetings since 5 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 27 of 35 meetings (77%).
Among the council's 39 councillors who were expected at five or more meetings over the same 12 months, the middle attendance figure was 77%. 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.
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.
No agenda items name them in the papers we hold.
Read from the minutes of meetings that OpenCouncil has summarised, so declarations at other meetings aren't included.
