Our local Halliford and Sunbury West Ward Councillor, Daxa Patel (pictured), has announced her decision to resign from her position as Cabinet Member for Emergency Planning to concentrate on her duties as Ward Councillor. She will be replaced by Cllr. Colin Davis (pictured).
In a letter to Chief Executive Roberto Tambini, Councillor Patel said "I have found the work as Portfolio Holder for Emergency Planning to be stimulating and rewarding, and very much appreciate the support and encouragement I have received from staff and fellow councillors".
Leader of the Council, Cllr Robert Watts said: "I would like to express my sincere thanks to Cllr Daxa Patel for the strong contribution she has made; particularly her work with the community during last year's flooding. I am pleased to welcome Cllr Colin Davis to the Cabinet. Colin brings a wealth of experience to the Cabinet and I very much look forward to working with him."
He added: "I am taking this opportunity to review the roles of all the Cabinet Members and will announce a change to the portfolio holders' responsibilities shortly."
