Democratic Services team is in charge of many of the council's activities. These include:
- Arranging all council meetings
- Publicising all council meetings
- Publicly distributing council reports, agendas and minutes
- Notifying officers of decisions made at meetings
- Enforcing any decisions made
- Maintaining statutory registers.
The team is also in control of managing school admission and exclusion panels. These are made up of independent lay members. They provide support to the Town and Parish Council Liaison process. This includes monitoring the Parish and Town Charter.
The work of the team also involves the political group offices. These offices give secretarial help for the councillors. The unit also covers the elections section, which prepares the Register of Electors and organises all elections.
