1. The wording of all written statements must be submitted by the deadline of midday the day before the meeting, Monday 20th May 2020. Please note that public questions are not permitted on this occasion. Statements should be sent to

democratic.services@bristol.gov.uk

2. Statements for this meeting must be about the reports included on the agenda.

3. Details of all statements submitted will be sent to the Lord Mayor, Mayor and all Councillors as soon as possible after the above deadline.

4. Please note there will not be an opportunity at the meeting for the oral presentation of any statements.

Two public statements had been received that were relevant to an item on the agenda.
