These attendance figures have been obtained using the information avaliable from the Minutes of Meetings, which can be accessed on the East Renfrewshire Council Web Site. We have limited the figures to Community Councils and Area Forums only.
Whilst we are aware that there are many and varied calls upon Councillors to attend differing types of forums like Tenants & Residents Associations, however at present we have no access to these minutes.
The data with regards to Area Forums has been compiled from the three Area Forums that have been held since the last local election. (Councillors are eligable for only one area forum)
With regards to Community Councils we have used all of the data available on the ERC Web Site, however this does vary at present, with some Community Councils only having minutes relative to 2 meetings (Uplawmoor) and others having 8 and some displaying 10. We intend to build upon this facility and to highlight Councillors attendence over the preceding 12 months, therefore as each consecutive month is added the first will fall off. Some elected members have three Community Councils (CC) in their area, whilst others only have one due to the Multi - Member ward system.
This will be reflected in the number of possible CC meetings that can be attended.
# This is not a definative data collection process, only a guide as to the attendence records of our elected members at two types of meetings where they can interact with the public of East Renfrewshire and drawn from public records. We will rank each Councillor as regards there attendence levels.
