NEW FOREST DISTRICT COUNCIL
CABINET FORWARD PLAN
This Forward Plan lists matters on which decisions are likely to be considered by, or on behalf of the Council’s Cabinet for a 12 month period. The Forward Plan also lists major decisions which fall within the definition of a “key decision” as outlined below:-
A key decision is one that is likely either:-
a) to result in the Council incurring expenditure, or making savings, which are significant having regard to the Council’s budget for the service of function to which the decision relates (expenditure or savings are generally treated as significant if the sum exceeds £50,000 of unapproved savings or spend); or
b) to result in an outcome which will have an impact, for better or worse, on a significant number of people living or working in an area comprising two or more wards in the Council’s area; or to be significant in terms of its effect on communities in a ward.
The Cabinet consists of six Councillors and they are responsible for the following Portfolios:-
Councillor Jill Cleary – Leader of the Council
Councillor Steve Davies – Deputy Leader and Housing and Homelessness
Councillor Geoffrey Blunden – Environment and Sustainability
Councillor Jeremy Heron – Finance and Corporate
Councillor Dan Poole – Community, Safety and Wellbeing
