In this section you can access a wide range of information and documents relating to the council’s decision making processes, find out about forthcoming Council meetings and decisions and obtain details for your local political representatives.

The meetings of the Council’s committees are now being held in person. In some cases, a non-decision making meeting may be held remotely, where the committee chair, the Leader and the Chief Executive Officer are in agreement that this is in the best interests of the business of the committee.
