What does a Community Board do?

Functions

The Hagley/Ferrymead Community Board is made up of six directly elected members and three members (Councillors) appointed by the Council, giving a total of nine members.

The Board undertakes tasks delegated by the Council and also has input into the Council's budget process.

The Board has an obligation to communicate with community organisations and special interest groups.

It has an overview of road works, water supply, sewerage, stormwater, drainage, parks, recreational facilities, community activities and traffic management within its communities.

The Board is not a separate authority. It is part of the elected structure of the Council and reports each month to the Council in the same way as the Council's standing committees.
