On the agenda of a public meeting of Wirral Council’s Cabinet on Monday 24th June 2019 are proposed changes to how the Cabinet makes decisions as well as a proposal that certain decisions made by Wirral Council employees are published and are subject to the call-in procedure by councillors.

The proposed report and twenty-page scheme of delegation and procedure can be read on Wirral Council’s website.

If agreed tomorrow the changes will happen immediately (except for the changes relating to decisions made by Wirral Council employees which will be implemented from September 2019).

The new Cabinet Member briefs are proposed as follows:-

Cllr Pat Hackett (Leader) – Provide strategic direction for the organisation and leadership for the place. Represent Wirral at regional, national and international level
