Committees

  

The Combined Fire Authority has established committees to look at the various areas of its business. Some are required by law whilst others are discretionary. Through this section you can find out more about their responsibilities, membership details and find copies of their agendas and minutes.

A revised Committee structure for the Authority has been approved with effect from the 1st January 2006. Whilst the new structure replaces that which existed previously, the principal functions and Terms of Reference of the predecessor Committees have been absorbed and expanded upon within the new structure, i.e. Planning Committee (previously Integrated Risk Management Planning Committee), Performance Committee (previously Performance Review Committee), Resources Committee (previously Human Resources and Finance Committee). You can still access previous agendas and minutes for these bodies by clicking on the relevant new Committee title.
