Gateshead Council Cabinet is meeting on 17 March 2026 to decide on the future of local services and community projects across Gateshead, Tyne and Wear.
This group is the main team in charge of making big decisions for the area, including how the budget is managed and which local projects move forward. It is led by the Leader of the Council and includes nine other councillors who are appointed to look after different parts of community life.
The meeting will start at 10:00 am and serves as a primary way for residents to understand how their local government is run. These sessions are used to provide political leadership and set the policy direction for all the services provided by the council.
Official reports and the list of topics for discussion are usually shared with the public in the week before the event. Residents can access these documents through the council’s democracy portal to stay informed about upcoming changes in their community.
