Who will be at the Cabinet meeting, and who can vote on Cllr Lavery’s recommendation?

The Cabinet is the Council’s leadership team, working closely with Officers. It is chaired by the Leader of the Council and comprises 6 other Councillors (known as Cabinet Members) who are responsible and accountable for a range of Council services or a ‘portfolio’, e.g. finance, planning, family services etc

The current Cabinet is made up of councillors from Eastcote, Ruislip Manor, South Ruislip, Northwood Hills, Harefield Village and two from Ickenham & South Harefield. We encourage residents from across the borough, but especially residents in these boroughs to contact their councillors and make their views known.
