   • (As well as reintroducing the committee system the Act brought in new arrangements for moving from one system to another – this is the main focus of our guide “Rethinking governance for the 20s” (2020).)

   How do councils make decisions?

   • Some councils opt for a committee system. The council establishes a number of committees, each with a specific area of responsibility. The political groups appoint elected members to those committees. More councillors are actively involved in decision-making, but it can take longer to reach decisions.
