Our committees usually meet 4 times a year (normally in the evening), with the possibility of occasional special meetings or working groups appointed by the Committee. There is a requirement in between meetings to read agendas and related papers.

Independent members will receive a modest fixed annual allowance (£720 per annum) and their travelling and subsistence expenses are paid.

Audit Committee

The Committee is looking for local people with an interest in finance and governance. The work will give you input into the Council's policy and practices as well as learning about the systems and processes that support the broad and complex range of Council services; especially the financial / risk management of those services. You will be an impartial, independent-minded person who might also have experience in Audit, Finance or Risk Management.

Standards Committee

Milton Keynes City Council is seeking to appoint a co-opted parish representative to join its Standards Committee. The Standards Committee seeks to promote and maintain high standards of conduct for elected members in Milton Keynes, and parish representatives play a key role in helping the Committee to understand the issues faced by Parish, Town and Community Councils. You may also be requested to join (in a non-voting capacity) any sub-committees to hear complaints about Parish Councillors.  

The Council currently has two serving parish representatives on the Standards Committee (Parish Councillors Pryor and Winsor) and are seeking to appoint a third. We would be particularly keen to hear from parish councillors who represent more urban areas of the City. 

Standards Committee usually meets 4 times a year in the evening, with the possibility of occasional special meetings or working groups appointed by the Committee. There is a requirement in between meetings to read agendas and related papers.

Parish representatives receive a modest fixed annual allowance (£720 per annum) and travelling and subsistence expenses will be paid for Standards Committee commitments.
