Town Council to become more "Dynamic"

The Town Council have decided to re-organise the way they work.

Currently they have six committees reporting into the full Council. (See below).

In future the number of Councillors on each committee will be limited to five, to allow for more intense debating and better and quicker decision making. The full council will then (as now) review the proposals of each committee, but will be able (by virtue of the mathematics) to strike down any proposals that are not fully supported.

Each Councillor will only be allowed to sit on a maximum of two committees and will make know their preferences to the Mayor about which committees they wish to serve over the next few weeks.

Non Councillors will not be able to sit on Committees, but "Working Groups" can be created to make use of local people with skills in particular subjects, and the outcome of the group will then be reported back to the Committee.

The Regal and Entertainments Committee
(MAX. 8 MEMBERS) meet every four to six weeks.

The Parks and Cemetery Committee
(MAX. 7 MEMBERS) meet every four to six weeks.
