The Council elects a Chair, Vice Chair and individual members to serve on various sub-committees and external bodies at their Annual General Meeting (AGM), which is usually held in April. A comprehensive list of these smaller groups and their elected representatives can be found on the ‘Councillors page’.

The council also elects individuals to represent itself within various other community interest groups and organizations such as school governing bodies, advisory organisations, youth groups and health and tourism related organisations.
