The council meets at the Tampere City Central Office Building (sometimes called "The White House") in the city centre. The meetings take place almost always on Mondays.[2] The meetings are sent on radio by Radio Moreeni.[3]
The National Coalition Party and the Swedish People's Party have been in a local alliance since the municipal election of 2008, which means they form one unified council group.[4]
