The Executive has
seven Members and is the Council’s main decision making
body. It is chaired by the Leader of
the Council. It either makes decisions
itself or six of its Members who hold Portfolios decide on matters
relating to their specialist areas. The Portfolios
cover:
·
Adult Care & Health;
·
Children, Education and Families;
·
Environment and Community Services;
·
Renewal, Recreation and Housing;
·
Resources, Commissioning and Contract Management;
·
Public Protection and Enforcement.
By law the Executive
cannot take all Council decisions - some matters have to be decided
elsewhere, principally by the Development Control Committee and the
General Purposes and Licensing Committee and their
Sub-Committees.
Currently the Leader
of the Council is taking executive decisions after scrutiny by
Policy Development and Scrutiny Committees and in consultation with
the other members of the Executive.
