Council Meetings
Council Meetings are usually held at 7.00pm on the third Monday of each month, except for August and December, at Formby Library and are open to members of the public to attend. During the early part of the meeting the Standing Orders are suspended to give people the opportunity to ask questions and raise issues for the Council’s attention. Details of the Council decisions can be found in the agendas and minutes for the full Council meetings.
The Finance and General Purposes Group hold 9 meetings a year and provide an opportunity for Cllrs to review the budget information and expenditure by budget heading in more detail with the Clerk (part of the internal audit process) and to assess the impact of spending decisions on the budget, prior to recommendations being made to the full Council.
The Environment Group hold 8 meetings a year and are used to oversee the environment budget specifically.
Both Groups are used to generate ideas and to identify what information would be required to put together a proposal to go to the full Council.
Councillors have agreed to support the work of the Council as follows:
• Finance and General Purposes Group: Cllrs D. Baxter, D. Brodie, Butler, Duerdon, D. Irving, and Weild.
• Environment Group: Cllrs D. Baxter, S. Baxter, Cavanagh, Duerdon, Y. Irving, Prescott, Richards, and Weild.
All Councillors have an invitation to attend all the meetings, which are not restricted to the core group.
