Committees - Who & What
|
FULL COUNCIL |
| The Council usually meets on the last Monday of each month, the exceptions being August (when there is no council meeting) and December (when the meeting is brought forward to avoid the Christmas holiday period). It is at these meetings that we should expect all Councillors to attend together. The Council considers the reports from the individual committee meetings, receives a Police report and encompasses any matter that affects the whole Council not able to be dealt with at Committee. Perhaps of more importance to the electorate is that we also hold a public participation period - a 15-minute session during each meeting where members of the public can raise issues with the Council. The Chair of the Full Council is the Town Mayor; the Vice Chair is the Deputy Town Mayor. |

The Planning Committee meets twice a month and considers all planning applications for the Redruth Parish area. The Town Council is not the planning authority (that is Cornwall Council) but is a 'statutory consultee'; that is the Town Council has to be consulted on planning issues. The policy of Redruth Town Council on planning is that the Committee considers all plans, those considered to be contentious will be visited by a Member of the Planning Committee to ascertain the views of the local residents and neighbours and a verbal report made at the Planning Committee Meeting. A recommendation will be made and voted upon. This recommendation is submitted to the District Council as the Town Council's consultation response. Members of the public can attend these Committee meetings. |
