Sandwell Council Focuses on Training and Planning
This past week, the Sandwell Council held three meetings. Unfortunately, the transcripts for all of these meetings were not available, so we can only confirm that they took place.
Member Development - Monday, 24 June 2024
The Member Development meeting occurred on Monday. Member Development sessions typically focus on the training and professional development of councillors. These sessions are crucial for ensuring that councillors are well-informed about their roles, responsibilities, and the latest legislative changes.
Planning Committee - Wednesday, 26 June 2024
On Wednesday, the Planning Committee convened. The Planning Committee is responsible for making decisions on planning applications, which can include anything from residential housing projects to commercial developments. These decisions are essential for managing growth and development within Sandwell, ensuring that new projects align with local policies and community needs.
Member Development - Friday, 28 June 2024
Another Member Development meeting took place on Friday. As mentioned earlier, these sessions are part of an ongoing effort to equip councillors with the knowledge and skills they need to serve the community effectively.
While we do not have specific details from these meetings, it's important to recognize the ongoing work of the council in areas such as councillor development and urban planning. Future updates will provide more detailed insights as transcripts and summaries become available.
For those interested in learning more about the roles and responsibilities of local councils, the Local Government Association offers a wealth of resources and information.
