Cabinet
A majority of decisions about Council services are made by the Cabinet. It also leads in the preparation of the Council’s budget and policy framework. View all upcoming committee meetings.
The Cabinet is made up of the Leader and nine other councillors who each have an individual area of responsibility, known as a portfolio. Cabinet members can take decisions together when sitting as the Cabinet. They can also make decisions by themselves that fall within their remits. You can view details about significant decisions that will be made by the Cabinet or Cabinet members (Key Decisions) on the Forward Plan.
