The Council has adopted a Cabinet/Leader model. Under these arrangements, full council establishes the authority's budget and policy framework. An executive Cabinet of 9 members is responsible for decision making. There are five Scrutiny Committees to review the policy and performance of the Council and of other agencies operating in Darlington and two principal Committees to deal with the statutory functions of Licensing and Planning Applications.
