Furness Locality Board

The Furness Locality Board is an area committee established to foster close working relationships with local communities. It comprises all councillors whose wards fall within the Furness area. The board can be granted significant powers and responsibilities by the Leader, Cabinet, and the Council. When exercising these powers, it must operate within the council's established policies and terms of reference, with the ability to consider and report on any matter affecting its area. All decisions must align with the council's budget, policy framework, and service-specific policies.
