The whole council meets once a month on the first Tuesday. Any cancellations of meetings will be posted on the website under the News section. The public are most welcome to attend these meetings and at the start of each meeting time is set aside where the public may speak on any subject. These sessions do not form part of the official minutes of the meeting. If members of the public wish to make representations on agenda items and would like to have these representations mentioned in the minutes, they should notify the clerk 24 hours prior to the meeting that they wish to speak at.
The council operates a committee structure. There are five committees that meet on a regular basis – Planning, Assets & Environment, Finance & General Purposes, Personnel and Grants. Below the Assets & Environment Committee sits the Pride in Beccles Sub-Committee. Eight councillors sit on each of the committees, with members of the public also sitting on the Pride in Beccles Sub-Committee. From time to time the council also creates working parties to look at specific projects, and once the projects have been completed the working party is then disbanded. The public are welcome to attend all committee meetings of the council.
A chart showing the council’s committee structure can be found here.
