Issue details

Constitutional Review - Area Committees

The Labour Group have suggested that proposals be developed to ensure (i) the work of Area Committees better reflects the changing and increasing role of Councillors and, in particular, moves towards place-based working and (ii) that all Area Committees have similar powers, including responsibility for Town Centre planning returning to Central Area Committee.

The Liberal Democrat Group have also asked for a review of the Area Committee boundaries, in particular (but not limited to) revisiting the split of Cheadle Hulme across two Area Committees.
