Types of committees

Our council is made up of 39 elected members who meet throughout the year to make  decisions about how local services are run. These meetings are open to the public - so you're welcome to come along and see how things work.

The Full Council decides big-picture policies as well as approving changes to the constitution and hearing motions from Councillors. Once a year, it also sets the council’s budget, decides how much council tax people will pay, and elects the Lord Mayor and Sheriff.
