Chair of the council
Here you can find out about the role of the Chair of the council.
The Chair of Derbyshire County Council proceeds over council meetings, which take place at Matlock in the council chamber at County Hall on Smedley Street about six times a year.
On becoming Chair, the position holder takes over the official chain of office and traditionally acts as the council’s figurehead for two years. The ambassador-type role extends the length and breath of Derbyshire with the exception of Derby which, as a unitary authority, is responsible for all its own local government functions.
