The agenda for a local council meeting must be shown in a public place for at least three clear days prior to the meeting.  So there is no question that the information is available to the public.  I'm not aware of a legal right to be provided with a copy of the agenda, but most councils take the sensible path of making some spare copies of the agenda available for members of the public and forgetful councillors.
