General exception process
Under Southwark Council's constitution, if a proposed key decision does not appear on the published forward plan and a decision is required prior to publishing of the next forward plan, the council is required to publish a general exception notice.
Where the decision is of an urgent nature, there is also provision in the council's constitution for decisions to be considered under special urgency or urgent implementation (Rule 16 Access to Information Procedure Rules). Special urgency allows the decision to be considered immediately but remains subject to scrutiny consideration.
Urgent implementation is available in exceptional circumstances where a decision is deemed to be so urgent that it must be considered immediately and is not subject to scrutiny consideration. In all circumstances the chair of overview and scrutiny considers requests of this nature.
Details of notices for 2007-08 are detailed by month on this page.
Full copies of the notices, excluding those of an urgent [closed] nature, can be inspected at
