The Cabinet (or 'executive') is made up of the
Leader of the Council and seven councillors from
the majority party appointed by the Leader of the Council. Most
day-to-day decisions are made by the Cabinet or by individual
Cabinet members. Each Cabinet member has their own 'portfolio' or
area of responsibility.
Cabinet members must also undertake their role and
responsibilities of being a ward councillor.
Details of major decisions to be made by the Cabinet are
published in a forward plan. If these decisions are to be
discussed at a meeting of the Cabinet, this will generally be
open to the public, unless personal or confidential matters are
being discussed.
The Cabinet has to make decisions which are in line with the
Council’s overall policies and budget. Decisions which are
outside the budget or policy framework must be referred to
Full Council to decide.
Full details about the role and responsibilities of the Cabinet
can be found in the Council's
Constitution.
