Area Committees

Information and documentation relating to the area committees in Northumberland.

In order to give local citizens a greater say in council affairs, three area committees have been created. They cover North, Southeast and West Northumberland.

Their overall aim is to empower citizens, strengthen communities, and improve services. They involve councillors for each particular area and are held in public.

Everybody is welcome to attend. Regular items include public question time, a slot for submitting and considering petitions, progress on actions from previous meetings, and consultation on various issues.

Details of the committees’ terms of reference are provided in the document below. For further details contact Democratic Services on telephone 01670 533491.
