Council meetings and decisions
Siambr
可应要求提供Committee meetings, papers and decisions for UK councils.
Siambr runs a council’s meetings from the first draft of the agenda to the published decision. Democratic Services officers schedule the meetings, build and publish the agendas and write the minutes. Report authors write their reports in Siambr, and senior officers approve them before they are published. Councillors read their papers, keep private notes on them and keep their register of interests up to date. Residents use the public site to find a meeting, read its papers, follow its decisions, sign petitions and answer consultations.
适用对象。 Democratic Services teams, report authors, monitoring officers and councillors at UK councils.

Platform
- Restricted business
- A restricted report states which category of exempt information it falls under and goes only into the restricted pack. Committee Members and the officers allowed to read restricted business can open it.
- Retention
- Meeting papers stay open to inspection for six years under section 100C of the Local Government Act 1972 and are then archived. The council sets how long petition signatures and consultation responses are kept.
- Roles
- A role is a named set of permissions, and one account can hold several roles.
- Sign-in
- Officers and councillors sign in with a password. The council sets its length, the lock-out after failed attempts and how long a session lasts.
- Public site
- Residents read the public site without an account. They can sign up for email alerts by committee without a password and add a meeting to their own calendar.
- Devices
- A web browser.
功能

Publication deadlines
Each meeting shows the date its agenda must be published and the last day for items. A health check lists agendas past their deadline and meetings held more than a week ago that still have no minutes.
-
Agenda builder
Officers add items and sub-items, bring in standard items and planning applications, copy an earlier agenda and attach papers. When the agenda is published, Siambr numbers the papers as annexes and keeps that publication as a numbered version.
-
Minutes
Officers write the minutes item by item beside what the agenda said and record attendance and times in the same draft. Siambr produces the minutes as a PDF and a copy for signing.
-
Report approval
Authors write reports against a meeting. An approver approves the report or returns it to draft with a comment, and the report’s history keeps both decisions.
-
For councillors
Councillors read their papers, keep private notes and highlights on any item and send apologies. They keep their register of interests, gifts and hospitality up to date on their own page.
-
Public site
Residents find meetings, read the papers, follow decisions and the forward plan, sign petitions, answer consultations and ask for email alerts by committee.
-
What the public sees
The council chooses which councillor details the public site shows. A detail switched off stays visible to officers and councillors after they sign in.
-
