Updates and amendments to our Constitution

5 July 2024

Following the establishment of the East Midlands Combined County Authority (EMCCA) a new Joint Committee of Derby and Derbyshire’s councils has been set up to co-ordinate a revised approach to collaborative and partnership working, called the D2 Strategic Leadership Board.

The 'terms of reference' including the articles, procedure rules and access to information procedure rules have now been added to our Constitution.

The new D2 Strategic Leadership Board offers a single framework for discussion and decision-making and incorporates the remits of the Vision Derbyshire Joint Committee and the D2 Economic Prosperity Committee.

As a result of this, the dissolution of these 2 committees has been agreed and therefore reference to these committees has been removed from the Constitution.

You will find the changes in Article 19 – Other Joint Committees.
