Sub-Committees

The Council also has sub-committees and working parties. These are informal and meet on an irregular basis, as required. With the exception of the Planning Group, they do not have the authority to act without ratification from full Council meetings, other than to meet small items of expenditure (less than £200.00). They act as advisory bodies to the Council.
