The Scheme of Delegation sets out how Wistow Parish Council delegates certain responsibilities and decision-making powers to committees, working groups, and the Clerk. It provides a clear framework for the efficient administration of council business while ensuring that decisions are made at the appropriate level and in accordance with the Council’s policies and legal obligations.

By defining the roles, responsibilities, and authority of those acting on behalf of the Council, the Scheme of Delegation helps promote effective governance, accountability, and transparency. It enables routine matters to be dealt with efficiently while ensuring that significant decisions remain the responsibility of the full Council where required.

Wistow Parish Council reviews its Scheme of Delegation periodically to ensure it remains current, reflects legislative requirements, and supports the effective operation of the Council.
