About committees and meetings
We invite residents to be part of local decision-making. Committees and meetings are open to the public, offering a chance to stay informed and have your say. Check the calendar, join a meeting, or submit a question - your input helps shape Norwich.
Norwich City Council operates a range of committees and panels to ensure transparent, democratic decision-making across all areas of local governance.
These committees cover everything from planning applications and licensing to scrutiny, standards, and sustainable development.
Public access and participation
Most meetings are open to the public and are either live-streamed or recorded for later viewing via the council’s YouTube channel.
Members of the public and media are welcome to attend, except in cases where confidential or exempt information is discussed.
Meeting information
Agendas, minutes, and reports for upcoming and past meetings are available through the council’s meetings calendar.
