The forward plan is a list of the Council's key decisions that will be made over the next three months. These decisions will be made by either the Cabinet or by officers who have been delegated authority by the Leader of the Council and his Cabinet. The forward plans are published every month. The plan includes a short description of the decision to be made; who will make it; when the decision will be taken; details of the planned consultation with local people and other stakeholders; and contact details for further information (including reports and background papers).
