As a condition of entry to Full Council and Committee meetings in Civic Hall, bag searches and the use of metal detector wands will be taking place. We may also ask visitors to the meeting to remove coats and jackets for searching. We will also require any banners and signs to be left outside of the viewing gallery / meeting room – there will be a designated place to store these by reception. Thank you for your understanding
