Committee details

Covid-19 and meetings

From 7 May 2021, the law requires all councils to hold formal meetings in person.  However, the Council is also required to follow government guidance about safety during the pandemic.  The Council will enable all people to continue to participate in meetings via Zoom.

You are encouraged to participate via Zoom to keep everyone safe - there is limited capacity in meeting rooms if safety requirements are to be met. There are restrictions and conditions which apply to those in the building and the use of the building.

Please read the new meeting protocol which is available here:

If you want to ask a question or speak, email your full name to Committee@middevon.gov.uk by no later than 4pm on the day before the meeting. This will ensure that your name is on the list to speak and will help us ensure that you are not missed – as you can imagine, it is easier to see and manage public speaking when everyone is physically present in the same room.  Notification in this way will ensure the meeting runs as smoothly as possible.  

The Cabinet is responsible for most of the day to day decisions of the Council which are not delegated to officers. It is made up of the Leader of the Council and Cabinet Members (also known as lead councillors) who have responsibilities for various service areas. The current cabinet are as follows:

The Cabinet develops policies and strategies for approval by Council, exercises overall control of resources within the Council's policies and budget and recommends the level of council tax to the Council. It also considers any matters specifically referred by the Scrutiny Committee. All "key decisions" to be discussed or made are published in the Cabinet's Forward Plan in so far as they can be anticipated.
