The Executive is the
part of the Council which is responsible for decisions within the
policy framework adopted by Council. The Executive is currently
made up of six councillors, selected by the Leader, plus the
Leader.
Meetings of the
Executive are generally open to the public, except where personal
or confidential matters are to be discussed. We also endeavour to
livestream public meetings to the council’s YouTube channel.
Videos will then remain available for six months after the meeting,
although the council reserves the right to remove a video if it
deems it necessary.
If attending a
meeting, you may be visible on the livestream and video. If you do
not wish to be visible on camera, please speak to Democratic
Services on arrival.
