The Executive
Committee is the decision making body at Redditch Borough
Council. Redditch Borough Council has
adopted the “Leader and Cabinet” model of
executive.
Each Portfolio Holder
on the Executive Committee represents particular subject areas
which are aligned with the Council’s strategic purposes
(priorities).

Monaco.
Strategic Purposes
will not be achieved by one service area alone and an individual
service area will undoubtedly help achieve more than one strategic
purpose. Services have been listed
under strategic purposes to which they most directly relate and
Portfolio Holders will be responsible for these
services. However, it is incumbent on
each Portfolio Holder to work with the other Portfolio Holders to
ensure most effective use of resources and achievement of strategic
purposes.
Decisions are made by
the Executive Committee collectively.
Portfolio Holders do not have delegated powers to make decisions on
behalf of the Committee.
Members of the public
are welcome to attend meetings of the Executive Committee.
