Cabinet-style Council
In England, local authorities are required to adopt one of three types of executive arrangements, having either an "elected mayor and cabinet", a "leader and cabinet", or a "committee system". The type of arrangement used determines how decisions will be made within the council.

Where the committee system is used, executive power is exercised through various committees rather than being focussed on one person.
