Cabinet
The Cabinet is responsible for the strategic thinking and
decisions that steer how the council is run.
They meet monthly and take decisions collectively.
Decisions to be taken by Cabinet or Cabinet Members that are
expected to have a significant impact on our budget or on the
services we provide are called key decisions. Key decisions to be
taken over the next four months are updated each month in the
Forward Plan of Key Decisions.
