Role of the SPC Strategic Policy Committees (SPCs) are local authority committees in city and county councils whose membership includes elected councillors, representatives of business, farming interests, environmental/conservation groups, trade unions and community and voluntary members. It is the task of the Strategic Policy Committees (SPCs), as committees of the council, to advise and assist the council in the formulation, development and review of policy. They have no remit in relation to routine operational matters regarding the delivery of services. The SPC system is intended to give councillors and relevant sectoral interests an opportunity for full involvement in the policy making process from the early stages. Since 2014 at least one of the SPCs must be established to consider matters which relate to the functions of the local authority in relation to economic development and enterprise support. The chairperson of an SPC is appointed by the local authority while the sectoral interests are nominated by their organisation/group.
