HCC Standing Orders 3 August 2004 Issue No. 2 6 FOREWORD These new Standing Orders are adopted following the commencement of the Local Government Act 2002 and the consequential repeal of relevant parts of the Local Government Act 1974 (as to the extent that these affect provisions of earlier Standing Orders for meetings of Council, committees and community boards). These Standing Orders reflect legislative requirements relating to the conduct of local authority meetings, particularly the provisions of the Local Government Act 2002 and the Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act 1987, together with the amendments to these Acts that were passed in July 2004. This includes provisions relating to extraordinary meetings (replacing special and emergency meetings) and voting at meetings. There is also modernizing of language in line with that now used in legislation.
