Public Comments
Members of the public wishing to make a comment at the start of the meeting may submit a short written statement to be read out at the meeting (this must take no longer than three minutes to read). The statement, which must be relevant to the business to be discussed at this meeting, should be received at the Trust's office no later than 12 noon, one clear day before the meeting (e.g. for a meeting on a Thursday evening, by 12 noon on Tuesday). If you wish to make a comment, but are unable to be present at the meeting, you may nominate another member of the public to read the statement on your behalf; the nominee may not be a member of the MHT Board or staff.
Statements submitted will be posted on the Trust’s website (where possible) and circulated to trustees in advance of the meeting. The Trust reserves the right not to publish or read out any statements that contain information that may be defamatory or are otherwise in breach the law.
Please note that our meeting agendas will be added prior to upcoming meetings. Meeting minutes are signed off at Board meetings therefore some minutes may only be available in draft.
