Council's constitution

Walsall Council has agreed a constitution which sets out how the council will operate, how decisions are made and the procedures which are followed to ensure that these are efficient, transparent and accountable to local people.

Some of these processes are required by law, while others are a matter for the council to choose. The constitution is divided into 14 Articles which set out the basis rules governing the council’s business. More detailed procedures and codes of practice are provided in separate rules and protocols at the end of the document.

You can view the constitution on our committee information website.
