There are a number of organisations which are independent from the council, but have an impact on its service areas.
In order that the council can maintain effective partnerships with a number of these organisations, representatives of the council, usually elected councillors, sit on the various committees and forums that are responsible for them.
A copy of the constitution or governing documentation in respect of each organisation is kept for councillors' inspection by the Committee Services team on behalf of the Monitoring Officer.
