The Cabinet system makes the major decisions about Council
services and many others that you use on a day-to-day basis. The
Cabinet normally meets monthly. Its role is to lead in the
preparation of the council's policies and budget, to lead the
community planning process and the attainment of best value. The
Cabinet is made up of the Leader who is chosen by the County
Council from the majority party and up to nine other councillors
chosen by the Leader. Each Cabinet Member has an individual area of
responsibility also known as their portfolio. Find out more about
individual portfolios.
All items discussed by Cabinet have to be published in a
Forward Plan which is a document that sets out information about
key decisions that the council will make in the next four months.
The Forward Plan is published every month.
If a matter which is likely to be a key decision has not
been included in the Forward Plan then it can be dealt with under
General Exception or Special Urgency. When this happens a notice is
published on the County Council’s website.
General Exception (GE) and Special Urgency (SU) Notices are
published below. Select the relevant link to view the
notice.
