Committees of HWPC

The Council may agree to form a Committee in order to delegate the decision making for certain areas of the Council's responsibility. The remit of each Committee will be agreed by the full Council and will be set out in the Terms of Reference for each Committee.

Delegating decisions to Committees is a useful way for Councils to focus meeting content and to reduce the meeting lengths. 

Working Groups (WG) are different because a WG can only recommend a course of action to the Council or Committee. The decision needs to be taken by the full Council or Committee.

Since Committee meetings have the authority to make decisions, they need to be held in public, be properly minuted and the Agenda posted at least 3 clear days before each meeting. 

Committees

Currently the HWPC operates three Committees:

  • The Kings Barton Committee which looks at all matters relevant to Kings Barton except when there are budgetary or decisions regarding the transfer of land, which needed to be taken by the full Council. 
  • The Headbourne Worthy Committee which looks at all matters pertaining to Headbourne Worthy Village except where there are budgetary decisions
  • The Investment Committee that is specifically responsible for and monitors the Council's Investments.
