The Councillors below meet together as a Full Council several times a year.  During these assemblies they decide the Council's overall policies and budgets.  The Council's Chairman, Vice Chairman and Leader are elected annually.  A Cabinet comprising 8 members is appointed by the Leader's recommendation, which group takes major decisions for the Council.  They are vicariously liable for any wrongdoing that they know of but fail to take action to rectify. 

Other Committees are also formed to decide various issues such as waste management and planning control.  You may ask a PUBLIC QUESTION if you put in your request in good time and the Council must respond in public and confirm their response in writing.

Policies are implemented through the Chief Executive and six Chief Officers who manage the departments and services the Council provides.  Therefore, it is essential that Councillors appoint officers fit to carry out their duties.

The Development Control Sub-Committees (North and South) meet on a four weekly basis to determine planning applications and deal with other development control functions.

This Council employs around 600 staff in offices at Crowborough and Hailsham.  What do they do that needs this number of people?

Citizens have a number of rights in their dealings with the Council.  Click here for more details.
