    Norwich City Council

    Cabinet

    The cabinet consists of eight members of the Labour group, including the leader of the council. The cabinet makes recommendations to the council on the budget and policy framework. It also carries out all the executive functions of the council which are not reserved to the full council, exercised by another committee or delegated to an officer.

    Council

    The council is made up of 39 councillors. It meets several times a year and members of the public are welcome to attend. One of its broad functions is to agree the authority's policies which govern the way services are provided. In addition to this, it meets every year to set the budget, level of council tax and to elect the Lord Mayor and Sheriff.

    Informal planning applications briefing

    Informal briefings for the planning applications committees on pre-applications schemes. Members of the public, ward councillors and other interested parties are welcome to attend.

    Twinning committee

    The twinning committee meets three times each civic year to exchange information and share ideas between Norwich's twinning associations (Koblenz; Novi Sad; Rouen).
