Governance
We have a clear governance and decision-making process relating to how we accept events.
Once your application is received by the Events Team we will look over your initial paperwork and check your date is free and that your event is in line with acceptable events on Council land.
This is then referred for "approval in principle subject to SAG advice". How your event is "approved in principle" depends on the size of your activity of your event - so the smaller events will be approved by the Sandwell Event Manager, the largest by the service director and elected Cabinet.
