Welcome to the
Vale of Glamorgan Council

The Cabinet

 

The Cabinet, is made up of the Leader of the Council and six other councillors, and uses its Executive Powers to make most of the Council's decisions on services, functions and Corporate management, including plans and strategies. Some key matters, such as setting the budget, remain a matter for Council to decide. Cabinet meetings take place every fortnight, and are chaired by the Leader. During these meetings, issues are raised and discussed, then decisions are made. 

 

When does Cabinet meet?

Cabinet Meetings

The Cabinet usually meet fortnightly and the meetings are chaired by the Leader of the Council  (timetable of meeting dates). During these meetings, issues are raised and discussed, then decisions are made. Prior to the meeting, the agenda for the cabinet meeting is sent to all members of the Council. You can view previous and current Cabinet agendas and minutes here.

 

The day after the Cabinet meeting, any decisions that were made are sent to all Members of the Council, along with copies of reports on which the Cabinet based its decisions. Any councillor then has the opportunity to "call-in" an item for further scrutiny. Five scrutiny committees operate to deal with these requests.

 

Community Cabinet Meetings

The Cabinet also hold a number of Community Cabinet Meetings throughout the year at various locations within the Vale of Glamorgan. This is to give local residents the opportunity to raise any issues they may have and have their voices heard. To view whether there is a  community cabinet meeting in your area, please see the schedule of community cabinet meeting dates for 2013.
