Council Policies and Procedures 

The Council's Standing Orders are the written rules of a local council. Standing Orders are essential to regulate the proceedings of a meeting. A Council may also use Standing Orders to confirm or refer to various internal organisational and administrative arrangements. The Standing Orders of a Council are not the same as the Policies of a Council but Standing Orders may refer to them.

The Standing Orders, Financial Regulations, and Risk Assessments are all reviewed and adopted by the Council at the start of the new Council year at the May meeting or whenever there is an amendment by the National Association of Local Councils.
