Individual Executive Member Decision Making 2006-7

What is individual decision making?

Individual executive members are able to take decisions on areas that fall within their responsibility in much the same way that decisions are taken by the executive as a whole.

How are decisions published?

Under council's constitution, all key decisions taken by individual executive members are listed on the Forward Plan. Council publishes key decisions on the website five working days (publishing period) before the individual executive member can consider the decision. Details of the decisions, their status and copies of any relevant reports can be obtained by referring to the particular individual executive members web page. Most of the decisions taken by individual executive members are subject to a five working day call-in period. During this time the Overview and Scrutiny Committee reviews decisions.

Expressing your views about a decision

Members of the public may make representations during the publishing period either directly to the individual executive member or by contacting the responsible officer. You can do this by clicking on the link that can be found on the Individual Executive member’s web page.
