The full town council consists of 21 councillors and it meets every two
months.
The following matters are reserved to the full
council for decision making (although other committees may make
recommendations on these subjects):
·
approval of the annual budget
·
setting the annual precept
·
borrowing money
·
authorising any expenditure over £20,000
·
making or amending standing orders, financial regulations or
schemes of delegation
·
matters of principle or policy
·
any proposed new undertakings
·
prosecution or defence in a court of law
However, full council meetings cover a wide
range of topics and may include presentations from invited
visitors.
All council meetings are held in public and we welcome
observers. Meetings usually start at
7.30 pm and are held at Newton Leys Pavilion, Furzey Way.
