Summary

Open Council Network is an independent organisation. We report on Boston and are not the council. About us

The Boston Borough Council's Constitution was scheduled for discussion at the meeting. The Constitution outlines how the Council operates, makes decisions, and ensures efficiency, transparency, and accountability. It is derived from Acts of Parliament and decisions made by the Council and its Cabinet. The Constitution is divided into ten parts, covering the overall framework, articles, responsibility for functions, rules of procedure, codes and protocols, members' allowance scheme, management structure, councillors' contact details, committee membership, and the programme of meetings. Residents' rights and responsibilities in relation to the Council were also to be covered.
