Cabinet

Purpose of committee

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 9 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.
