Committee details
Council
Purpose of committee
South Cambridgeshire District Council consists of 45 Members, otherwise known as councillors. Councillors must be registered voters in South Cambridgeshire or live or work within the district. Further details, including the roles and functions of Councillors and the recognition of political groups are available in Part 2 Article 2 of the Constitution.
The Annual meeting in May elects the Chairman, Vice Chairman and, once every four years, the Leader of the Council. While the Chairman and Vice Chairman in effect have ceremonial roles to play, the Leader is concerned more with the political and service aspects of the Council and of its relationship with South Cambridgeshire residents and organisations, and local and national government. The Leader acts as Chairman of the Executive (Cabinet) and appoints the Deputy Leader and Portfolio Holders. Council also meets in February each year to approve the budget and set the Council Tax, and on other agreed dates, approximately once every two months.
Further details, including the functions and types of Council meetings, are available in Part 2 Article 4 of the Constitution.
Members of the public are invited to submit questions (subject to guidelines) to the Council, Committee Chairmen, the Leader and/or members of the Cabinet at meetings of full Council.
Members of the public may submit representations (subject to guidelines) at physical meetings of the Full Council on any business specified in the agenda for the meeting, no later than 15 minutes before the start of the meeting.
