    Purpose of committee

    The Cabinet

    The Leader chooses a Cabinet of other Councillors (called Cabinet Members) who will together make decisions on important subjects or matters affecting the City or Council as a whole.

     

    The Cabinet Members

     

    Each Cabinet Member has responsibility for a range of Council activities, which are called Portfolios. At present these are:

     

    • Leader – Councillor Kaur
    • Deputy Leader and Cabinet Member for Adult, Health and Housing – Councillor Fielker
    • Cabinet Member for Finance and Change – Councillor Leggett
    • Cabinet Member for Economic Development – Councillor Bogle
    • Cabinet Member for Environment and Transport – Councillor Keogh
    • Cabinet Member for Children and Learning – Councillor Winning
    • Cabinet Member for Communities and Leisure – Councillor Kataria

     

     

    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.
