About
The Westmorland and Furness Council is the ultimate decision-making body, responsible for setting the Council's annual budget and its overall policy framework. All council actions must align with these established documents, and only the full Council can amend them. It also appoints committees for specific regulatory and non-executive functions, such as planning and licensing. In its executive governance model, the Council appoints a Leader who forms a Cabinet responsible for key policy and operational decisions. Councillors not on the Cabinet primarily focus on scrutinising executive decisions and handling matters not delegated to the Cabinet.
