Committees

 

There are currently four policy Committees and two regulatory Committees. Namely the Executive Committee and three committees, the Housing and Property Committee, the Regeneration and Community Committee and the Environmental Services Committee. There are two regulatory Committees, the Pensions Committee and the Standards Committee. The Committees are responsible for the development, oversight and execution of policy and making decisions on matters delegated to them under the scheme of delegations (which can be found in Part 3 of the Constitution).

There are five councillors on the Executive Committee; the Leader of the Council, who serves as its Chair, the Chairs for each of the three committees, and a Member who does not serve on the three other committees.

The full Council elects the leader of the Council, the Chairs for each of the three other Committees, the Chair and members of the Pensions Committee, and the Chair and members of the Allotments Committee.

The Executive Committee then appoints three members to serve on each of the Housing and Property, Regeneration and Community and Environmental Services committees.

The constitution requires that the Leader and committee members hold office for a maximum of two municipal years, after which a special meeting will be convened at which an election will take place to appoint all posts for the following two-year term of the Council.
