The Cabinet is the primary decision-making body for Devon County Council, responsible for most day-to-day operations and delivering key council functions. It comprises a Leader and up to nine appointed members, each overseeing specific areas like education, social services, highways, and waste disposal.
The Cabinet makes significant decisions, often outlined in a Forward Plan, and manages budgets to ensure value and adherence to council priorities. Decisions are recorded and made publicly available, with specific procedures for urgent or exceptional circumstances as defined by council regulations.
