Wirral council has made a big change to their constitution after a withering government assessment.
The schedule of elections and firming up of committee functions have been written into Wirral Council ’s constitution.
After Whitehall chiefs deemed the local authority’s “prevailing culture” was to duck big decisions and the adoption of a committee system of governance, a raft of changes have been made to Wirral’s constitution to toughen up how it best serves the people of the borough. Among the changes made to the document, which sets out how the council operates, is the rubber stamping of all-out elections in 2023.
