Council

The Council is the main decision-making body of Watford Borough Council, attended by all councillors and the Mayor, and chaired by the Chairman of Watford Borough Council. It meets in ordinary sessions approximately four times a year to set the council's budget and policy framework, receive and debate reports from the Mayor, and consider questions and petitions from the public.

Ordinary Council meetings also allow councillors to ask questions and debate motions. Recommendations from other committees or working parties are also considered. Extraordinary Council meetings are convened as needed for urgent matters, including the conferral of the Freedom of the Borough.
