About This Register
Extracted automatically from the minutes' own "Notified Motions" section. Amendments and restatements of the same item are not counted again; a conflict-of-interest determination on the item is moved by a different councillor and is never read as authorship; a procedural motion that tables or defers an item is part of its journey, not its outcome. A notice withdrawn before it was moved is recorded in the minutes but is not attributed here, because the withdrawal line is narrative rather than a structured record. Motion text is quoted verbatim and may be shortened; extraction can miss or mis-parse entries, so verify anything important against the minutes link on each entry. More on the methodology.
