It is important to emphasise that as Committee's do not have delegated powers to make decisions on behalf of the Council, all the recommendations from Committees are placed before the monthly meeting of full Council for formal debate. Council may accept these recommendations, change them or refer them back to the appropriate committee or a briefing for further consideration. Therefore, decisions made at committee meetings cannot be implemented until they have been given approval by full Council, and members of the public should not rely on any decisions made at a committee meeting, until Council has formally considered the recommendations that have been mad.
