KCC Leader announces autumn Cabinet reshuffle

29/08/2008



The Leader of Kent County Council Paul Carter has announced an autumn reshuffle to his Cabinet.

The changes will come into effect from 1 September.

Mr Carter said: "I have decided, following the decision of two members of the Cabinet to resign following the summer recess, and the very sad loss of Lord Bruce-Lockhart and John Law, to make a number of changes to my Cabinet.

"This will come into effect from 1st September.

"I have accepted the resignations of Roger Gough and Chris Wells with regret and have thanked them both for the very significant contributions they have made.

"Roger Gough is committing full-time to his position as a Research Director of Policy Exchange, at a particularly exciting time in national politics.

"Chris Wells has chosen to spend more time running his consultancy business and feels he needs to focus on working on local issues in the run-up to the county election next year, recognising the marginal nature of his county division in Margate. I wish them both well."
