Representatives on Outside Bodies

There are a number of other organisations known as 'Outside Bodies' that have responsibility for matters affecting the district, its residents and workers.

The Council appoints Councillors as representatives to the Outside Bodies. The appointments usually last for the same period of time as the Councillor's term of office (normally four years), although occasionally Councillors will step down and be replaced by other Councillors.

Further details about the Outside Bodies, and the Council's representatives on them, can be found below.
