People who do not want to raise issues or concerns publicly at the meeting, can do so privately in a one to one surgery with the PCC directly ahead of the meeting.
To ensure the smooth running of the surgeries, these are run on an appointment-only basis. Any member of the public who would like a one to one with the PCC in the late afternoon of Wednesday October 28 can contact the PCC office directly on 01245 291600 or use the online booking form on the PCC website here.
