About

The Mayor must appoint a Cabinet of between two and nine members selected from the elected councillors.   The Cabinet meets monthly, usually in public on the first Tuesday of the month at 10am.  See below for the dates and times of meetings.   The Mayor and her Cabinet collectively makes key decisions as indicated in her

Scheme of Delegation and the Forward Plan. The Cabinet considers all policy and budgetary framework documents, reports from scrutiny bodies on scrutiny reviews.   The agenda and reports are published 5 clear working days before the meeting and are available on the Council’s Internet site or at Stratford public library, Council offices or contact Democratic Services on 020 3373 1256.  A decision notice is also published, usually two working days after the meeting.   Each Cabinet Member is in charge of a portfolio, rather like a Government minister.  The Mayor can, if she wishes, give these councillors decision making powers.  At present, decisions are taken collectively at Cabinet meetings.   For further information please contact Joy George on 020 3373 1256.
