Committees

A Committee system operates on the Town Council, each committee has special functions, meets regularly and reports back to full Council. Town Councillors are also appointed to represent the Council on various outside groups and organisations.

The Mayor - ipso facto - sits on all committees

From May 2009 the Council most committees will also include CO-OPTED members of the public who are "interested parties" to the issues involved
