This is regarding a Community Council in Wales.
Whilst searching for a decision made by a Community Council Committee, I noticed that there were no minutes for the relevant meeting, even though the agenda was posted. I then noticed that the minutes of many Committee meetings (referred to in Full Council minutes) are missing.
I queried this with the Community Council and they replied that the Committees are Sub-committees and therefore they report to Full Council, no minutes needed. I find this odd, as on the Council website it clearly states that there are 4 Committees. There is no mention of any Sub-Committees. Also there are plenty of Committee minutes posted.
So why post some Committee Minutes and not others, even though an Agenda is posted.
According to statutory guidance for community and town councils in Wales:
"The Community Council must also publish electronically the minutes of its meetings and, so far as reasonably practicable, documents referred to in the minutes."
I would appreciate any advice on the above please.
