The District Council has adopted a Constitution that sets out
how the Council operates, how decisions are made and the procedures
that are followed to ensure that these are efficient, transparent
and accountable to local people. Some of these
processes are required by the Law, while others are a matter for
the Council to choose.
The Constitution is divided in 13 Articles - that set out the
basic rules governing the Council's business.
More detailed procedures and codes of practice are provided in
separate rules and protocols at the end of the document.
The Constitution is kept under review and amendments are
approved at the Annual Meeting of the Council in May each year, or
at other times as necessary.
