The County Council
comprises of all 53 councillors and meets six times a year. Certain
kinds of decisions, for example, changing the council’s
constitution or setting the rate of council tax can only be taken
at meetings of the full Council.
The full Council has
such wide powers it would be impractical for it to make every
decision itself. It therefore concerns
itself with setting the broad policy and budgetary framework of the
authority. More detailed decisions are
made by what are known as “council bodies”, for
example, the Planning Committee and by the Council’s
Cabinet.
