The West Sussex Cabinet has nine members from the majority
group on the Council.
The Cabinet is collectively responsible for:
·
deciding how
services are planned to meet the needs of local
residents
·
setting targets
to be achieved by departments
·
deciding how the
budget should be spent
·
taking the most
important decisions about policy and services
·
monitoring how
each department is performing
Most decisions are taken by cabinet members together in
meetings in public. Others may be taken by individual cabinet
members. Each member has a
portfolio of work for which they are responsible. Meeting
agendas are published before the Cabinet meets. All of the
decisions are published on our
decisions page.
The Cabinet also meets to propose the Our Council
Plan and annual budget, which are then put to the full Council
of 70 members for approval, usually in February each year. This
determines the Council’s council tax requirement.
Key decisions (for expenditure or savings of £500,000 or
more or those which will have a significant effect on communities
in two or more electoral divisions) to be made by the Cabinet or
cabinet members over the next 4 months are listed in
the Forward
Plan.
