Cabinet

The Cabinet is a group of 6 Councillors, all from the majority political group (Conservative) represented on the Council. The Leader of the Council (Cllr Jill Cleary) chairs the Cabinet. She has appointed the other 5 members. The Cabinet is responsible for taking all decisions classed by the law as Executive decisions. Many of these decisions are taken at a meeting of the whole Cabinet. However, each Cabinet member has a portfolio , that is, a list of the responsibilities assigned specifically to that member. Subject to certain conditions, individual Cabinet members are able to take decisions on matters within their portfolio.
