Glasgow City Council’s structure is based on an Executive Committee, chaired by the leader of the administration with opposition members, and policy development and scrutiny committees, which meet every four weeks and can call-in decisions by the Executive Committee. In addition there are also regulatory type committees such as Planning and Licensing. Councillors also sit on outside bodies and boards. The civic head of the Council is the Lord Provost.

Full Council
