Detail the individual Portfolio responsibilities can be found in

Council Constitution 03 Part 3 - Responsibility For Functions

The Cabinet Members can make decisions individually for their Portfolio area and so most decisions are made either by the whole Cabinet or an individual Cabinet Member.  However, these decisions must be in accordance with the Budget and the Plans in the Policy Framework, all of which have been agreed by the whole Council.

Cabinet usually meets once a month.  The meetings are open to the public and are generally held in the Council Chamber.
