The Council has now published several updates to its constitution.
The changes haven’t been through any democratic process so fail the transparency test.

Council Committees and Other Bodies
Scrutiny Review Procedure Rules
Some of the Executive member responsibilities will raise eyebrows.
Splitting responsibility for “parks and open spaces” from “sport and leisure” does’t look like joined up thinking. Both are areas where the last Council had major policy failures, so some sort of refresh is needed.
