Constitution of the council

Our constitution sets out how we operate, how decisions are made and the rules and procedures we follow to ensure our work is efficient and transparent and that we are accountable to local people.

An annual review of the constitution is carried out each year. The last annual review took place in May 2023. This version replaces all previous versions.
