There are up to ten members of
the Council’s Executive and they are also known as Portfolio
Holders. In addition to being able to make decisions as a group
they can also make certain decisions as individuals. These
decisions still require a report to be written and
published.
A number of officers and other
Councillors will be consulted prior to the decision being made. The
benefit of this system is that comparatively routine decisions can
be speeded up so that the Executive can concentrate on more
strategic issues.
As with meetings of the
Executive, decisions to be taken by individuals must appear on
the Forward
Plan, and summaries of the decisions are published on the
Council's website. Copies of the signed decision sheets can be
viewed at the Council Offices, Market Street during office
hours.
