In its bid to streamline the decision-making process, Welshpool Town Council will cut its number of sub-committees from eight to five.
The proposal was put to this week’s Full Council meeting by the Strategy sub-committee with new town clerk, Richard Williams, keen to see the authority tighten up its operations.
The Finance and Staffing committees will become Finance & Governance while the Events & Tourism and Planning committees will combine to form Events & Planning.
The Services & Property committee will be renamed Operations & Development with some responsibilities moved to Finance & Governance.
Those three standing committees will meet monthly, while the Health & Safety and Audit committees will remain as advisory, and meet quarterly.
It was also eventually agreed that each committee will have a maximum of seven members, and each councillor will be required to sit on a minimum of one of the three standing committees, but no more than two.
