    Cabinet

    Our council is run by a cabinet, not all of the watd councilors that you voted in

    The Cabinet is made up of nine members from the Liberal Democratic Group, including the Leader and Deputy Leader of the Council. The Cabinet is the key decision making body of the Council, and provides political leadership and direction across the whole range of Council. Cabinet also advises full Council on policies, plans and strategies, including the fixing of the budget and Council Tax levels, which remains the responsibility of all Members of the Council.

    Each Cabinet Member has responsibility and individual decision making powers for a ‘portfolio’ of particular services. Portfolio Executive Meetings are held every six weeks with similar rules to Cabinet regarding public access.
