Cabinet
Cabinet is the part of the council responsible for many of our day-to-day decisions.
What does cabinet do?
The cabinet usually meets every three weeks and makes decisions about the council's policies and budgets.
Any decisions it wants to make which are outside of the budget or policy framework must be referred to full council for discussion by all councillors.
Cabinet also works closely with chief officers to agree policy for different services and departments.
Cabinet also published a forward plan of key decisions. This shows decisions it is likely to take in the next four months. You can find out more on the forward plan of key decisions page.
Who makes up the cabinet?
The cabinet is made up of nine councillors appointed by and chaired by the Leader of the Council, Councillor Andrew Lewer.
You can find out more about our cabinet members and their responsibilities on the cabinet members web page.
