Summary

Open Council Network is an independent organisation. We report on Richmond upon Thames and are not the council. About us

The Council of Richmond upon Thames Council met on Tuesday 1 December 2009 and approved the adoption of a new Leader and Cabinet executive model for the borough. This change will be implemented after the 2010 elections.

Adoption of a New Executive Model

The council approved the adoption of a new Leader and Cabinet executive model, as outlined in the Local Government and Public Involvement in Health Act 20071. This significant change to the council's governance structure will take effect following the 2010 elections. The Chief Executive has been authorised to publish the necessary notices to reflect these new executive arrangements and to make any consequential amendments to the council's Constitution to ensure a smooth transition.


  1. The Local Government and Public Involvement in Health Act 2007 is a piece of legislation that introduced new governance arrangements for local authorities in England and Wales, including the option for councils to adopt a Leader and Cabinet executive model.
