The Constitution
sets out how the Council operates, how decisions are made and the
procedures which are followed. Some of these processes are required
by the law, while others are a matter for the Council to choose.
The Constitution came into effect on the 30th May 2002 and is
periodically reviewed and amended by the Council as necessary.
There may be a slight delay in updating the web site version, but
Legal Services staff can advise you whether any particular part of
the version published on our web site is the very latest
version.
The Constitution is
divided into 15 Articles which 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.
