Meet the cabinet
Norwich City Council’s 2024-2025 cabinet members have been appointed following the local elections in May.
Members of the cabinet have responsibility for overseeing particular areas of the council’s activities. They report to the full council on developments in their areas of responsibility and answer questions from other councillors and the public.
Mike Stonard, leader of the council, said: “I wanted my new cabinet for this year to really focus on reflecting our new corporate priorities. That’s why I’ve been working closely with colleagues, to purposely align our priorities with the portfolio titles of some cabinet members.
“Our new community-led plan has a clear vision for the city and five equally clear priorities which we are firmly committed to.
“By establishing a closer link between our priorities and cabinet members’ portfolios, it will help to drive and shape all that we do for the council, our city and throughout our communities.”
