Committee details

Full Council

Members of the public are welcome to attend our meetings to watch them in person at any of the venues across the County. Publicly accessible meetings held in County Hall will be webcast, which means they are available to be watched live or recorded on our website. Please see our webcasting notice here. The Committee may, in certain circumstances, resolve to hold part of the meeting in private. If this is the case, you will be required to leave the meeting.

Purpose of committee

The county council comprises 84 councillors who all meet in full council at least six times a year.  All meetings are broadcast live on our website as part of our policy of bringing decision-making closer to the public.

 

The main role of the full council is:

 

  • to appoint the Leader
  • to approve the constitution and any amendments to it;
  • to determine policies that set the framework in which the county council carries out its functions; and
  • to set the county council's budget and Council Tax levels.

 

Further information about the Full Council can be found in the Constitution.
