Council

Full Council is responsible for agreeing the Council’s Budget and Policy Framework and its Constitution.  Council appoints to non-executive committees, such as planning and licensing committees, and appoints a Leader of the Council (who in turn appoints to the City Executive Board).  Council also confirms who will be Chief Executive, Chief Finance Officer and Monitoring Officer.

Full Council considers motions proposed by councillors on matters for which the Council is responsible and that directly affect people in Oxford.  It hears addresses and questions from the public and holds debates on certain petitions raised in the area.
