At last nights council meeting the new Leader Robert 'Bob' Atwood named his new cabinet.
The main losers are Horwood, Moore and Thomas, although Thomas is expected to be be the next Mayor of Tunbridge Wells and would have had to relinquish her cabinet post in May.
Mayhew has been moved to leisure which some might regard as a demotion. She will not be filling the role of Deputy-Leader, the post which she resigned when Roy Bullock lost the second vote of confidence.
Barrington-King is staying put.
The biggest gainers are Scholes who takes over the finance portfolio from Horwood and Cunningham who takes over most of the portfolio previous held by Mayhew with the addition of responsibilities for rural matters. Scholes and Cunningham are former cabinet members.
Ransley makes it to the cabinet for the first time with a planning/transport portfolio.
It is believed that Jukes will become Deputy-Leader after he completes his term as Mayor. Another newcomer to the cabinet, but a long-serving councillor.
