According to the Council’s Constitution the Chief Executive has delegation for Emergency Measures.  This option gives the Chief Executive authority to take any urgent action between meetings in consultation with the Leader or Deputy Leader on matters which are outside the scope of powers expressly delegated to any Director or Head of Service, providing notice has been given to the Scrutiny Committee Chairman; and that at least five clear days notice has elapsed from when copies of the notice of the decision is made available to the public.
