The Forward Plan sets out decisions that the Cabinet, or an individual Cabinet Member intends to take over the following four months. The Plan is updated each month and republished and can be obtained from Brighton & Hove City Council Forward Plan or via e-mail at democratic.services@brighton-hove.gov.uk

 

The Council is required to publish notice of all key decisions at least 28 days before they are taken.

 

The Council’s Constitution states that a key decision is one that involves:

 

(a)    Expenditure which is, or the making of savings which are, significant having regard to the expenditure of the City Council’s budget, namely above £1,000,000; or

(b)    Is significant in terms of its effects on communities living or working in an area comprising two or more electoral divisions (wards).

 

As a matter of good practice, the Council's Forward Plan includes other items in addition to key decisions that are to be considered by Cabinet. This additional information is provided to inform local residents of all matters to be considered.

 

Meetings of the Cabinet are open to the public (with the exception of discussion regarding reports which contain exempt/confidential information). The Cabinet agenda containing all the reports being considered will be published 5 clear days before the meeting. Copies of the agenda and reports for meetings are available on the Council’s web site. For further details on the time of meetings and general information about the Plan please contact Anthony Soyinka, Head of Democratic Services at Hove Town Hall, Norton Road, Hove, BN3 3BQ, or telephone 01273 291006 or send an e-mail to anthony.soyinka@brighton-hove.gov.uk.
