Our constitution
Find out how we make sure that decision-making is efficient, transparent, and accountable.
Our constitution is a written legal document that helps us make decisions. The government establishes the legal framework for our constitution, providing a basis for councillors and officers to work within. It ensures honesty, accountability, and lawful decision-making.
The constitution is divided into chapters. The introduction outlines our operations and decision-making processes, with an emphasis on efficiency, openness, and accountability to local people. Some procedures are required by law, while others are chosen.
