Civic calendar
Consultation deadlines, hearings and council meetings we have listed, in one place. We add meetings by hand as the council publishes them, so this is not yet every meeting: check the council’s own pages for anything urgent.
Two kinds of date here. A deadline is something you can still act on. An event is something you attend or watch.
