How decisions are made
The Executive is the part of the Council which is responsible for most day-to-day decisions. The Executive is made up of the Leader and a Cabinet of 6 councillors whom he/she appoints. When major decisions are to be discussed or made, these are published in the Executives' Forward Plan in so far as they can be anticipated. If these major decisions are to be discussed with council officers at a meeting of the Executive, this will generally be open for the public to attend except where personal or confidential matters are being discussed. The Executive has to make decisions which are in line with the Council's overall policies and budget. If it wishes to make a decision which is outside the budget or policy framework, this must be referred to the Council as a whole to decide.
