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.
