All Camborne Town Council and Committee meetings are open to the public and we are always glad for people to attend. We include a limited time on each agenda for the public to be able to participate so that your views can be considered in the decisions that the Council takes. This is your chance to ask the Council questions or make us aware of things that are important to you. In October 2014 the Government brought in new regulations which aim to help local government to be more open and transparent. In view of these new regulations the Council adopted a new policy in September which allows any person present to film, photograph or make an audio recording of the meeting. Please note that whilst every effort is taken to ensure that members of the public are not filmed at a meeting, we cannot guarantee this, especially if you are taking an active role. 5 The Council has three Standing Committees so that we can manage our business effectively. Each Committee has full delegated powers for specific areas of responsibility which are detailed below.
