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

Learning – Councillor Winning
- Cabinet Member for Communities and
Safer City – Councillor C Lambert
- Cabinet Member for Compliance and
Leisure – Councillor Kataria
- Cabinet Member for Housing
Operations – Councillor A Frampton
- Cabinet Member for Adults and Health
– Councillor Finn
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.
