Under constitution of the UK, most of the momentous decisions are now taken by the cabinet, which under delegated powers. These people make decisions and plans according to the budgetary and policy frameworks set by the full council. Many local committees have also been set up, like Lancashire county council (http://www.lancashire.gov.uk/), to help make decisions and plan local government services.
