Forward Plan
What is the Forward Plan?
The Forward Plan lists the key decisions likely to be taken by
the Cabinet and full Council, in the next four months. It also
identifies who, if anyone, will be consulted before the decision is
taken. The Plan is updated monthly. Apart from regulatory
matters such as planning and licensing, the Cabinet takes most of
the decisions within Council policy and budget. The Leader of
the Council chairs meetings of the Cabinet. He and the other
five Cabinet members are each responsible for particular
functions.
The Forward Plan shows the proposed decisions under the relevant
Cabinet Member's responsibility. The Cabinet Members introduce
the proposals within their areas of responsibility at Cabinet
meetings.
What is a key decision?
A key decision is one which:
- involves expenditure or savings of £50,000 or more, and or
- is likely to be significant in terms of its effects on
communities in two or more wards or electoral divisions, or one
large ward or electoral division.
