Borough Council Urgency Decisions are decisions of
the council made using a document based
process allowing urgent decisions by the Council to be made if the
timing of such decisions cannot wait for the next formal meeting of
the Council. These often relate to
matters such as member appointments to formal bodies or outside
bodies, or other administrative functions, but can be on any topic
that the Council itself can make decisions on.
Borough Council Urgency Decisions are written reports
authorised by the Chief Executive following consultation with the
Mayor, in a process identified in the Council’s
Constitution.
These documents are then published shortly after they
have been agreed using the Borough Council Urgency Decision process
on this website page.
Please note that there are no meetings associated
with the Borough Council Urgency Decision process. The associated paperwork is not an agenda but a record of the decision signed by the
Chief Executive, following consultation with Mayor, and published
to ensure transparent decision making by the Authority. These
decisions are also then reported to the next meeting of the Council
itself.
