Cabinet

The Cabinet consists of 9 Councillors of the majority political party and is led by the Leader of the Council. Each Cabinet Member has responsibility for a particular area of the Council's activity. Cabinet Members cannot be part of the Policy and Scrutiny Committees but can be part of other committees and are members of the full Council. Cabinet may take executive action and has a collective responsibility.   The Leader and the Cabinet section of the  Constitution of the Council explains how the Cabinet operates, its functions and procedure rules.   Cabinet Member Portfolios can be viewed on pages 68-71 of the Constitution of the Council and sets out the delegation of Cabinet functions to individual Cabinet Members.
