Committee Memberships

The Full Council delegates some of its functions and responsibilities to its committees. Details of these delegations are set out in Part 2 of the East Suffolk Council Constitution.

 

The Full Council appoints councillors to these committees each May at its Annual General Meeting.  Committee places are allocated to each political group in proportion to its total number of seats on Full Council.
