Warwick District Council’s new administration announced

Following the recent Local Elections and subsequent Council meeting, the Green party and the Labour party have established a Cabinet to lead the Council collaboratively.

Leader of the Council, Cllr Ian Davison, comments:

“I am deeply moved that all councillors voted for me to be Leader and look forward to working with them all. At the Council meeting, I outlined the Green Labour administration’s ambitious agenda. This includes reducing heating bills in council houses, the council’s civic buildings like Jubilee House in Kenilworth, and other properties in the district, such as privately owned homes. However, the top priority is addressing the multimillion-pound black hole in the Council’s finances, whilst improving recruitment and retention of Council staff to provide better services.”

Deputy Leader of the Council, Cllr Chris King comments:

“I believe this collaboration is one that will enable us to best deliver on what Labour voters wanted when they put their trust in us as councillors.  We know how much residents depend on our council so we have put Party politics aside and will work with the Greens to do whatever we can to improve our local services.   Our priority, as ever, is to support people in need, families, and our local businesses.  We believe by working together we can help make Warwick District the best place to live and work, where everyone from all backgrounds, feels safe and valued.”
