About policies and strategies
Why we have policies and strategies
All local authorities need a framework of strategies and policies to cover the different aspects of their work. Some of these are required by law, others are driven by local priorities.
The decision-making process
Strategies and policies are agreed by councillors. The decision-making process may include:
- directors of services
- directorate management/leadership teams
- the relevant overview committee
- cabinet
- full council
