Committee Structure Chart

The Committee System

Full council appoints committees of 6 Councillors to concentrate on specific functions of the Council and to make recommendations or decisions on its behalf.

Committee members are appointed at Full Council every year at the beginning of the Council year. Each committee has a chair who is elected at the first meeting.
