The Court of Common Council

The Court of Common Council is the main decision-making body for the City of London, serving as the governing assembly of the City’s elected representatives. Comprising Aldermen and Common Councilmen, it sets policies, approves budgets, and oversees city functions. Its role is to ensure the efficient administration and strategic direction of the City’s affairs, including financial management, planning, and community services. Essentially, it functions as the City’s local government council, making key decisions to support the city's governance, economic vitality, and civic responsibilities within the broader context of the UK legal framework.
