Committees
Cabinet
All the key
decisions are made by Cabinet Members, meeting either jointly as the Cabinet or
as individual Cabinet Members, taking delegated decisions within their own
responsibilities. Cabinet meetings are held once a month and are attended by
all Cabinet Members. The cabinet is also responsible for preparing the budget
and policies to propose to the full council.
Members of the
public may ask questions or submit petitions
as long as
the item is on the agenda and advance notice has been given. Key decisions that
are expected to be made over the next four months are published in the Forward
Plan.
The Cabinet is made
up of the Leader of the Council, Councillor Liz Leffman and other councillors
appointed by her as Cabinet Members.

Other Committees of the Council
Committees cover specific
functions not dealt with by the cabinet (such as audit, organisational matters,
planning, pension fund arrangements and standards). They make decisions
delegated to them by the council. Committees are made up of councillors
(including cabinet members).
Committees meet with
varying regularity and are generally open to the public. The exception to this
is when meetings are held in private to deal with matters exempt from the usual
access to information requirements.
