Council and Committees

Glasgow City Council comprises 79 elected Members, representing 21 multi-member wards of 3 or 4 members. 

 

The Council's decision-making structure is based on:

  • an Executive Committee,
  • 5 Policy Development Committees and
  • 2 Scrutiny Committees.

In addition, the Council has retained regulatory type committees such as Licensing and Planning plus a small number of other committees.
