At Epping Forest District
Council, the Leader of Council leads the council with the support
of the Cabinet, appointed by the Leader to manage a portfolio of
services.
The Cabinet (also known as the
Executive) is made up of 10 councillors. It makes many of the
decisions relating to how Epping Forest District Council is run,
working within its financial and policy guidelines.
The Cabinet is the
Council’s main decision-making body and is responsible for
strategic policy-making and budget setting. Routine decisions are
taken by individual Cabinet Members acting under their delegated
powers, rather than at Cabinet meetings.
