The North East Mayoral Strategic Authority Cabinet is responsible for making key decisions for the North East Combined Authority (NECA) that are significant in terms of expenditure, savings, or impact on residents across two or more electoral wards. It operates under the NECA Constitution and publishes a Forward Plan to provide 28 days' notice of these decisions.
The Cabinet typically considers and approves matters such as appointments, governance arrangements, allowances for elected officials, and the designation of statutory officers. Decisions can be made in public or private, with private sessions adhering to specific exemptions under the Local Government Act 1972.
