The Council has adopted the principle that decisions should be made and the lowest or most local level consistent with the nature of the issues involved. Functions therefore have been delegated to Boards, the Chief Executive, Directors and Heads of Service and other officers as detailed in the Scheme of Delegated Functions. In terms of statute, certain responsibilities must be exercised at the level of the Council itself and in addition there are certain matters which the Council has chosen to deal with at Council level.
