Committee details

County Council

Purpose of committee

Full Council meetings are the principal forum for political debate, and the 70 members meet 6 times a year.

 

The full Council, which is chaired by the County Chairman, takes decisions on key policy plans. It appoints the Leader, who decides the areas of responsibility of the Cabinet, to which responsibility is delegated for carrying out many of the County Council's policies and strategies.

 

It also appoints scrutiny committees, which examine and review decisions and actions of the Cabinet as well as some non-executive committees.
