Council Constitution

The City Council has agreed a constitution which sets out how it operates, how decisions are made and the procedures which are followed to ensure that these are efficient, transparent and accountable to local people.

The law requires some of these processes, while others are a matter of local choice.

The Constitution is divided into 14 articles which set out the basic rules governing Council business. More detailed procedures and codes are provided in separate rules and protocols.
