This is how a request from East Devon County Councillor Claire Wright for a relaxation on the rules about public speaking was dealt with at Devon County Council where the principle was upheld:
Contrast this with East Devon District Council where rules to srastically cut the right of the public to speak at meetings has already been agreed and where the decision will be rubber-stamped later this month (see diary dates above) unless there is a change of heart amongst councillors who want the public to be neither heard (at meetings) or seen (at inaccessible Skypark).
