Information for councillors

Our constitution sets out how the council operates, how decisions are made and the procedures which are followed to ensure these are efficient, transparent and accountable to local people. Some of these processes are required by the law, while others are a matter for the council to choose.

• You can view the current version of the constitution of the council here as approved by Council on 24 February 2021.

Please note the constitution is currently being updated following the annual meeting of the County Council on 4 May 2022.

 

We understand that it is a difficult time for many of Northumberland's residents right now, and for that reason we have put together some resources to help you in supporting them over the coming months.

We hope these resources will help you get important information of support and advice to those who need it most.
