Cabinet members

Cabinet members are councillors with special responsibilities over an area of the council's activities, such as tourism or climate change. Their area of responsibility is known as their portfolio.

Cabinet members may work with council officers and others to develop policy within their portfolio, which then comes to cabinet for formal approval.

In addition to the Executive (cabinet members) we have several non-executive lead members responsible for specific areas of decision-making and policy development.
