Cabinet

The Council appoints the Leader of the Council and the Leader then appoints a Cabinet (including a Deputy Leader). A Cabinet can consist of up to nine places and each individual Cabinet member (known as a Portfolio Holder) is designated specific areas of responsibility. The Cabinet ordinarily makes decisions collectively but individual Portfolio Holders also have decision-making powers.

Cabinet members:

• Colin Law - Leader of the Council
• Stephen Ardley - Deputy Leader / Green Environment & Operational Partnerships
• Sue Allen - Portfolio Holder for Housing
• Mike Barnard - Portfolio Holder for Resources
• Frank Mortimer - Portfolio Holder for Customers & Communities
• Bruce Provan - Portfolio Holder for Leisure, Tourism and Economic Development
• David Ritchie - Portfolio Holder for Planning & Coastal Management
• Mary Rudd - Portfolio Holder for Community Health & Information Technology
• Michael Ladd - Without Portfolio
