Who does what?
Part 3 of the Constitution describes which powers and duties are exercised by the full Council, Council bodies and the Council’s Cabinet and the remit of the Scrutiny Committees.
Officers of the Council (that is, Council employees) may make decisions on behalf of the Council, Council bodies and the Council’s Cabinet under what is called the “scheme of delegation”. This is also set out in Part 3.
The law allows Members of the Cabinet to make decisions on behalf of the Council.
