The
Council is
made up of 48 Councillors. It meets six times a year
(one to set the Budget and Council Tax) and makes important
decisions that affect the whole Council. It also agrees the Policy
Framework. This is a series of important plans (such as the Local
Transport Plan and Community Care Plan) setting out the Council's
key policies. You can ask questions or submit a deputation from a
number of people to the Council but must let us know seven clear
working days in advance.
The
Leader of the Council
The Leaders' job is to provide
political leadership for the City and the Council. The Leader is
elected by the whole Council, normally soon after the elections
each year.
