The Cabinet

The Cabinet is Stratford-on-Avon District Council's primary executive body, responsible for leading policy implementation within the council's budget and strategic priorities. It comprises the Council Leader and six appointed councillors, each with delegated authority for decisions in their specific service areas.

The Cabinet handles 'Key Decisions', which are those likely to involve expenditure or savings over £150,000, significantly impact communities across two or more wards, or involve proposals with substantial effects. The Leader publishes a monthly Work Programme detailing upcoming key decisions. Members of the public can address the Cabinet on agenda items with prior notice.
