Our Constitution

Read the council's Constitution.

The Constitution sets out:

  • how the council operates
  • how decisions are made
  • the procedures which are followed to ensure that the council is efficient, transparent and accountable to local people

We are working on a more user-friendly version of the constitution, which will be available on the website soon.
