Swindon councillor attendance 2008 summary
This data is taken from a trawl through the record of meeting attendance for 2008 on Swindon Borough Council’s website. An entry in the attendance page of ‘Present’ or ‘In attendance’ is taken as meaning they were there, and any other entry as meaning that they should have been there but weren’t. Note that I have considered all meetings, except for one committee, for which councillor attendance is listed on the council’s website: some of these committees are described as ‘independent’, but presumably are closely related to the council’s business otherwise why would they be listed? The exception is the Wiltshire & Swindon Joint Police Committee for which there is no record for most meetings and, for the couple where there are, the record does not appear to be reliable.
