Standing Committees

 

All Councillors should attend Full Council Meetings, every month in the evening except for August and December, and at least two Standing Committee meetings. These are usually no more than an hour and a half long, beginning at 7.30pm and ending at 9pm. Both Full Council meetings and Standing Committee meetings have agendas and minutes and are open to the public.

Standing Committees  

Downham Market Town Council has four Standing Committees:

Only Town Councillors elected to be on the Standing Committee can take part in the decision making.  A Standing Committee has delegated power, that is, they do not usually need to refer their decisions back to the Full Council. They meet bi-monthly (except for Finance, seven a year).  

 

Downham Market has one Sub-Committee, Human Resources.  This has an agenda and minutes but is not open to the public in this instance, (as it discusses largely confidential matters).  This Sub Committee has no delegated powers and must feed back their decisions or findings through Full Council or a relevant Standing Committee

.  

 

The Mayor & Deputy Mayor sit on all Standing Committees
