The new ruling executive of Allerdale council has been announced.
Leader Mike Johnson revealed the make-up of the executive at the authority’s annual general meeting on Wednesday.
Councillor Johnson’s deputy remains as Marion Fitzgerald, the executive member with responsibility for policy, governance and people resources.
John Cook has decided to stand down from the executive having previously held the tourism and leisure portfolio.
Councillor Johnson said: “Councillor Cook has done a tremendous job over the last two years and he has always done it with his usual good humour and broad smile.
“I have taken the opportunity to have a minor reshuffle of the portfolios with Councillor Cook’s departure.
“I’m sure that all of the portfolio holders will look forward to engaging with the wider membership as we bid to tackle the challenges and capitalise on the opportunities that the next 12 months will present.”
The rest of the executive are Colin Sharpe, responsibility for finance and legal; Jim Lister, environmental services; Tony Markley, leisure and tourism and Alan Pitcher, customer experience and innovation.
