The Cabinet is Cardiff Council's main decision-making body, responsible for implementing the council's budget and policy framework. It is led by the Leader of the Council, who appoints Cabinet Members, each overseeing specific service portfolios.
The Cabinet collectively makes decisions on council services and policies, with outcomes published in a decision register. While the Cabinet handles most operational decisions, key matters like setting the annual budget and council tax remain with the full Council. Meetings are generally monthly and open to the public, unless confidential matters are discussed.
