Working
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.
Prior to the meeting, the agenda for the Cabinet meeting is sent to all Members of the Council.
Cabinet work to a Forward Work Programme that sets out Reports that Members expect to come to different Cabinet Meetings across the year.
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.
