Waverley Borough
Council has agreed a constitution, which sets out how the council
operates, how decisions are made and the procedures followed to
ensure that these are efficient, transparent and accountable to
local people. Some of these processes are required by law, whilst
others are a matter for the council to choose.
The constitution is
divided into 16 Articles, which set out the basic rules governing
the council's business. More detailed procedures and codes of
practice are provided in separate rules and protocols elsewhere in
the document.
