What Does the Cabinet Do?

The Council's Cabinet is comprised of six members: Leader and Members for Regeneration, Resources  Clean and Green Environment, Health, Safety and Wellbeing and Improved Customer Services. Most major decisions are taken by either the full Cabinet sitting together or by one of the six individual Cabinet Members. Issues relating to the “Policy Framework” – e.g the Budget – are dealt with by full Council.

The Cabinet meets formally at least once every eight weeks and the public are welcome to attend these meetings. There is an opportunity at the beginning of these meetings for members of the public to ask questions. The Cabinet Members do not hold formal meetings, however, when a decision needs to be made a report is circulated advising the public of reports under consideration and when the decisioon has been taken this is published. The Cabinet Members may also consult as widely as possible with interested parties before taking important decisions.

No decision can be acted upon until five days after its publication, unless there are urgent or exceptional circumstances. Any three Councillors may ‘call-in’ a decision with which they are not in agreement as long as they do so within the five-day period.

If a decision is called in it is referred to the Council’s Overview and Scrutiny Committee, whose recommendation is considered by the Cabinet or appropriate Cabinet Member before a final decision is taken. This final decision cannot be called in again.
