Joint assembly

The assembly advises the executive board, so it benefits from a wide range of expertise

The role of the joint assembly is to advise the executive board, acting as a forum for discussion with a wider range of members and stakeholders across the Greater Cambridge area.

The joint assembly comprises three elected members from each partner council; three co-opted members nominated by the business board and three co-opted members nominated by the University of Cambridge.

The joint assembly was formally established by Cambridge City Council, Cambridgeshire County Council and South Cambridgeshire District Council. It is a joint advisory committee of the three councils. 

Members of the public can ask questions, and submit and present petitions to meetings of the joint assembly. Filming, recording and taking photographs at meetings open to the public is encouraged.

The code of conduct set by each authority includes the provisions for declarations of interest.
