The Wigan Borough Council has agreed a new Constitution which sets out how the Council operates, how decisions are made and the procedures which are followed to ensure that these are efficient, transparent and accountable to local people.
The Constitution is divided 16 articles which set out the basic rules governing the Council’s business. Some of these processes are required by the law, while others are a matter for the Council to choose. More detailed procedures and codes of practice are provided in separate rules and protocols at the end of the document.
