Behind the scenes

Committee members are elected by the council. Where necessary, non-councillors are co-opted to represent the council in external groups and deal with correspondence relating to specific subjects. Non-members can also be co-opted onto committees and working parties if it was felt their expertise would be beneficial.

A word about the difference between a "Committee" and a "Working Party"

A committee has the same statutory requirements as a normal parish council meeting, the amount of notice required, a public meeting place, an agenda, the taking and publishing of minutes etc. Some powers can be delegated to Committees. They are always held in public.

A working party has no statutory requirements. Generally, these meetings are typically informal, have no powers and report back to Council with findings and recommendations - Their primary aim is to help prevent normal parish council meetings from getting bogged down with too much detail, their reports should be the basis for councillors to make value judgments.
