Thank you for highlighting the constitutional changes proposed. You are right that nothing will change this Thursday but who will dare propose and second the Legal Officer's proposal? As you rightly point out: only 2 Full Council meetings and 2 Cabinet metings have taken place as a "trial". It's been far from successful and questioning Councillors clearly didn't sound confident at the last Cabinet meeting. In future, no longer will each Full Council hear reports of Overview and Scruting committees. Since its formation, Medway Council has reduced the number of Full Council meetings and seems hell bent on reducing public access to Full Council and not only because you have to park further away or get your question in one day sooner. Surely, as you suggest, we need more Council meetings not the reductionist approach proposed. Contemporary UK history has shown the dangers of reducing democratic particpation.
To be fair to Medway Borough Council and/or Gravesham Borough Council, a search for "Medway Valley Dining ME2 2SS" at https://www.findmyaddress.co.uk/search would have shown that UPRN 200000895762 is meant. There might be a case for licence applications to include the UPRN as a matter of course.

Denbeigh Avenue is perhaps better known as Denbigh Avenue. In this case, number 20.
