The Derbyshire Cabinet is responsible for making most of the council's day-to-day decisions, including those relating to policies and budgets. It works with Executive Directors to agree policies for various services and departments. Decisions outside the established budget or policy framework must be referred to the full council. Key decisions the Cabinet plans to take are published in advance. The Cabinet comprises nine councillors, led by the Council Leader, and its meetings are generally open to the public for observation.
