Request support for Sandwell

We're not currently able to provide detailed weekly summaries for Sandwell Council. We need support from the council to:

  • Ensure we can reliably access and process council meeting information
  • Cover the costs of processing and summarizing council data
  • Maintain and improve the service for residents

You can help make this happen!

Contact your councillors to let them know you want Sandwell Council to support Open Council Network. This will help ensure residents can stay informed about council decisions and activities.

If you represent a council or business, or would be willing to donate to support this service, please contact us at community@opencouncil.network.

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.
