Well even Labour, with only three councillors, managed to get a Vice – Chair post!
Owl has already published the principal office holders and cabinet:
Chair, Cllr. Eleanor Rylance (Democratic Alliance – LibDem)
Vice Chair Cllr Sam Hawkins (Independent Group – Cranbrook Independent)
Leader Cllr Paul Arnott (Democratic Alliance – LibDem)
Cllr Paul Hayward (Democratic Alliance – Independent)
See here for the cabinet.
Below are the Chairs and Vice-Chairs of some of the important committees.
Remember that the committee members are chosen to achieve “political balance” amongst the political groupings, a complicated operation when it comes to rounding up or down.
The full list of Committees, Boards, Panels and Forums and links to lists of members can be found here.
- Councillor Mike Goodman (Chair) Conservative
- Councillor Jamie Kemp (Vice-Chair) Democratic Alliance – LibDem
- Councillor Anne Hall (Chair) Democratic Alliance – LibDem
- Councillor Daniel Wilson (Vice-Chair) Labour
Given the potential interest and impact of this committee on communities, Owl has included the full list of members, including which ward they represent.
Whilst political balance might be achieved, it is not obvious that geographic representation will be achieved. This has always been the case.
In this case it looks as if the communities in Honiton and Seaton will have to do with near neighbours.
