These are the divisions the minutes recorded by name. Most motions carry no named division, so this is not a complete voting history.
A councillor not named in a division is not recorded as abstaining, absent or opposed. The minutes simply do not say.
Meetings counted here are meetings in which this councillor is named at all — in attendance, in a motion, in a vote or in a declaration.
