Information about Cabinet

The Cabinet makes operational decisions in accordance with council policy.  It is here that key decisions are considered from the Forward Plan. The Cabinet provides effective strategic leadership, ensures council policies are implemented and monitors service delivery.

Where a matter is a key decision and the date by which the decision must be taken means notice of the decision was not publicised in advance; either in the Forward Plan or more than 5 days in advance under the exception rule, and the Chair of Overview (or if they are unable to act, the Chair or Vice Chair of the Council) has agreed that the item is urgent and cannot be reasonably be deferred then it may also be considered. As soon as reasonably practicable after their agreement is given then the reasons for the urgency and why it cannot be deferred must be made available on the Council's website and at our offices.
