Roles and responsibilities for Conwy County Borough Council's new cabinet have now been confirmed by Leader Charlie McCoubrey.
Following the councillors' vote to return Cllr. McCoubrey to power following the recent local election, he was quick to appoint members to his Cabinet. The councillors and their portfolio of responsibility are as follows:
Cllr Emily Owen: Housing and Regulatory and Deputy Leader
Cllr Mike Priestley: Finance, Revenue and Benefits
Cllr Julie Fallon: Education
Cllr Liz Roberts: Children, Families and Safeguarding
Cllr Penny Andow: Integrated Adult and Community Services
Cllr Goronwy Edwards: Environment, Roads and Facilities – Infrastructure
Cllr Geoff Stewart: Environment, Roads and Facilities – Neighbourhood and the Environment
Cllr Aaron Wynne: Culture and Leisure
Cllr Chris Cater: Democracy and Governance
Cllr McCoubrey said: “This new Cabinet is a coalition of 10 members: 6 members of the Conwy First Independent Group, 2 members of Welsh Labour and 2 from Plaid Cymru.
“In making these appointments, I have had the benefit of discussions with group Leaders and many members. I believe that I have been able to achieve an appropriate balance of political alignment, diversity, language and the geography of the county borough.
“I have also taken into account the strengths and capabilities of the members who have put themselves forward for appointment in order to create a Cabinet that is ready and able to meet the challenges and opportunities that face the Council and the people and businesses of Conwy.”
