Services Committees Forward Plan and Key Decisions

 

This Forward Plan sets out the decisions which the Service Committees expect to take over the forthcoming months, and identifies those which are Key Decisions.

 

A Key Decision is a decision to be taken by the Service Committee, which is either likely to result in significant expenditure or savings or to have significant effects on those living or working in an area comprising two or more wards in the Borough.
