The Cabinet is made up of the Leader and nine
other Cabinet Members. The Leader is elected for a four-year term

The Cabinet, at its monthly meetings, decides
on key decisions and policy, following consultation with
stakeholders and partners.
A key decision is a decision which is considered to be significant
in financial terms or in terms of its effects on communities living
or working in an area comprising two or more wards.
Key decisions are publicised at
least 28 clear days in advance in the
Key Decision List.
Decisions that are not key
decisions, or part of the policy framework, are made by
individual
Cabinet Membersor officers.

Members of the public and
non-executive Council members are all welcome to attend Cabinet
meetings.
