Full Council, involving all 51
councillors meets approximately six times per year and is
responsible for electing the Leader of the Council, governance
arrangements, including establishing council committees and their
terms of reference and changes to the council’s constitution.
Full Council also agrees the annual budget, council tax levels and
the borough-wide policy framework. From time to time full Council
meetings also look in depth at one particular issue affecting the
borough.
The meeting agenda and all
available papers are published on the website five working days in
advance of the meeting.
With the exception of the meeting
at which the Council’s Budget is set, Council meetings also
consider questions and petitions from members of the public and
councillors and motions from councillors. For more information
about how you can get involved in a meeting of the Council please
see the information on the
Have your say section
of the council’s website.
At each year’s special
Annual Council meeting, the Council elects a new Mayor and Deputy
Mayor and agrees the appointment of councillors to committees and
outside bodies. Council meetings are usually chaired by
the Mayor.
In addition to the six ordinary
meetings of the Council each year and Annual Council, there are
occasionally additional meetings to award Freedom of the Borough to
people who Council recognises have made an outstanding contribution
to the community. Freedom of the Borough is the highest honour the
Council can bestow.
