Attendance summary

Explanation of the statistics columns

Expected

The number of meetings that the councillor was expected to attend in their capacity as member of that committee.

Present

The number of meetings that the councillor attended in their capacity as member of that committee. PLEASE NOTE - to calculate a Councillor's total attendance "Apologies due to council business" needs to be added to the total for "Present as expected". The current system for collecting statistics does not allow this to happen automatically. Therefore when attendance statistics are presented to the Standards Committee who monitor Councillor attendances, a manual adjustment is undertaken.

In attendance

The number of meetings that the councillor attended in a capacity other than committee member, for example a voluntary attendance out of personal interest for a topic being discussed.
