2. How to register your request to speak

You must give written notice by 3pm on the second working day before the meeting if you would like to register to speak.

 For example, for meetings of the Planning Committee on Wednesdays:

• If there is no Bank Holiday on the Monday preceding the meeting, written notice must be given by 3pm on the Monday.
• If there is a Bank Holiday on the Monday preceding the meeting, written notice must be given by 3pm on the Friday before.
• If the meeting immediately follows the Easter weekend, written notice must be given by 3pm on Maundy Thursday.

The best way to register is using the online Application to Speak form.

Alternatively, you can also let us know by emailing Member Services or write to us quoting the planning application reference number and your details at:

Member Services, Ashford Borough Council, Civic Centre, Tannery Lane, Ashford, TN23 1PL

When registering via email or by post, you will need to ensure you allow plenty of time for us to receive and process your request.
