Area Committee

Many of the local administrative units in England , Scotland and Wales have, if their area extends over a large area or has a high population, divided it into smaller units in which Area Committees are responsible for the organization of certain areas of responsibility in their area. They also have an advisory role for administrative decisions as far as this affects their area. Its members are partly elected and partly delegated from the higher-level committees.
