Thank you - I'm assuming it's a vote per Cabinet Member in attendance albeit from a quick scan of the Constitution, this isn't 100% clear.
The Cabinet
Major decisions are made at meetings of the
Cabinet, which are held once a month and are attended by all Cabinet members. The Cabinet is also responsible for preparing the budget and policies to propose to the Full Council. Decisions are also taken by cabinet members individually.
Councillors may ask questions as long as advance notice has been given. Members of the public may request to speak as long as the item is on the agenda and advance notice has been given. They may also submit petitions on any item relevant to the functions of cabinet (it does not have to be on the agenda) if advance notice is given. Decisions that are expected to be made over the next four months are published in the Forward Plan.
The Cabinet is made up of the
Leader of the Council and nine other councillors appointed annually by the Leader.
More information on Cabinet meetings, including information on delegated decisions by individual cabinet members, can be found in the council
Constitution.
