Full Council meetings are the principal forum for political
debate, and the 70 members meet 6 times a year.
The full Council, which is chaired by the County Chairman,
takes decisions on key policy plans. It appoints the Leader, who
decides the areas of responsibility of the Cabinet, to which
responsibility is delegated for carrying out many of the County
Council's policies and strategies.
It also appoints scrutiny committees, which examine and review
decisions and actions of the Cabinet as well as some non-executive
committees.
