Council (the Full Council)

Further details of Full Council meetings can be found in the decision making section.

Role of the Council (the Full Council)

In Wolverhampton all 60 elected Councillors meet regularly (every 6 weeks) as the Full Council to make decisions on a variety of issues.

Although many functions are delegated by Council to the Cabinet, Cabinet Panels, or other bodies, certain matters are dealt with directly by the full Council meeting of all 60 Councillors. Such matters include:

Setting the Council Tax and determining the Council's revenue budget and capital programme,
Approving Council House rents
Considering major statutory and strategic plans for the City, eg. the Housing Investment Programme, the Community Care Plan and Best Value Performance Plan.

Meetings

Meetings of the Council are normally open to the public and at the Annual Council Meeting (normally held each year in May) the Council elects the Mayor and appoints the Deputy Mayor, appoints Cabinet Members and other Members to Scrutiny Panels and Committees.

Dates, times and venues of Full Council meetings can be found in the decision making section.

Agendas, minutes and reports
