Joint Policing Committee

Strategic Policy Committees

The Strategic Policy Committees provide a policy centred forum which can harness the experience of relevant external bodies and groups. They also enhance the role of the elected Councillor by providing a platform for input to the policy formation process at an early stage, for effective monitoring of existing policies and policy review. It is the task of the Strategic Policy Committee to advise and assist the council in the development of policy, while the final policy decision will rest, ultimately, with the full Council. The Strategic Policy Committee system is intended to give Councillors and relevant sectoral interests an opportunity for full involvement in the policy shaping process from the earliest stage.
