*The role of Deputy Cabinet Member for Green
City and Net Zero has no formal decision making responsibilities,
but can act on behalf of the Cabinet Member for Environment and
Transport if required to do so.
Detail the individual Portfolio
responsibilities can be found in
Part 3 of the Council's Constitution - 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.
