There are seven Area Committees, each covering
a different area of the City (usually three wards). All of the
councillors from the wards in a given area are members of its Area
Committee. The Committees can also appoint local community
representatives to attend and contribute to their meetings. These
include representatives of tenants and leaseholders of Nottingham
City Homes.
The Aspley, Bilborough and Leen Valley Area
Committee meets to discuss issues of local concern and how to bring
improvements to its local communities. It is also consulted on
wider Council policies that could have a local impact. It oversees
the spending of the Area Capital Fund and notes the funding from
individual or joint Ward Councillor Budgets in support of local
initiatives.
The Committee meets four times each year and
its meetings are open to the public.
