Outside bodies
Members of the Council are appointed to serve on outside body organisations annually by the cabinet. The positions are for a varied period of time and in some cases, members will receive remuneration from the outside body for the duties they undertake during their appointment.
In carrying out these roles, members act as both individuals and as representatives of the Council.
