Decision making

How the council operates

All councillors meet together as the council in order to decide the council's overall policies and set the budget each year.

Other key roles of council are the debating and approval of policy development, the consideration of scrutiny reports, the promotion of community engagement and the receipt and confirmation of meetings of the Cabinet and Committees.

Meetings of the council are normally open to the public.

All meetings of the council and its committees are arranged and supported by the council's Democratic Services section.
