Committees - Minutes, Agendas and Reports

In addition to those times when the Council meets as a whole, some the Council's functions are carried out by its committees.

Executive functions are carried out by the Cabinet. Regulatory decisions are taken by the Plans and Regulatory committees. Scrutiny of how the Council is performing and of the decisions taken by the Cabinet is carried out by the Council's Scrutiny Committees. The Member Conduct Committee's role is to maintain and promote high standards of conduct.
