PPN Community and Voluntary Representative - Nomination Form

The Strategic Policy Committee (SPC) for Housing brings together both elected members and other interests such as the trade unions, environmental, social inclusion, community & voluntary sectors, construction and business community to formulate, review or develop policies related to council services.

This involvement from relevant interests enables the SPC to best prepare the groundwork for policies which are then decided on by the Local Authority. This model of working provides elected members with external views to assist them in their strategic role in the development of the Local Authority.
