Committees

Selsey Town Council (STC) has 14 elected Members. The Full Council meets once every quarter. The Annual Council Meeting is held in May and this is the meeting at which the Chair and Vice Chair are elected from amongst the Members. Membership of the Committees is also decided at this meeting and appointments are made about the representation on external committees and organisations.

Members of the public are welcome to attend and can speak on a particular application at the discretion of the Chair.
