Each member of Cabinet brings to the role both a clear understanding of the issues facing Rushmoor and experience in delivering real change. They will each will have responsibility for delivering specific targets that matter to Rushmoor residents.
He added: “I would like also to thank Councillor Abe Allen, who is stepping down from the Cabinet, for the tremendous contribution that he has made to our discussions and in leading his portfolio so skillfully since being appointed as Rushmoor’s youngest ever Cabinet member in May last year.
