Cheshire East Council has announced the chairs and vice-chairs of its service committees following the May 4 elections.
Elected councillors will hold the following positions:
● Adults and health committee – chair Cllr Jill Rhodes, vice-chair Cllr Arthur Moran
● Children and families committee – chair Cllr Carol Bulman, vice-chair Cllr Lata Anderson
● Corporate policy committee – chair Cllr Sam Corcoran, vice-chair Cllr Craig Browne
● Economy and growth committee – chair Cllr Mark Goldsmith, vice-chair Nick Mannion
● Environment and communities committee – chair Cllr Mick Warren, vice-chair Cllr Judy Snowball
● Finance sub-committee – chair Cllr Nick Mannion, vice-chair Cllr Michael Gorman
● Highways and transport committee – chair Cllr Craig Browne, vice-chair Cllr Laura Crane
Under the committee system, introduced in May 2021, decisions are made by committees, which are responsible for a different area of the authority’s services.
Each service committee has 13 members. These members collectively make decisions.
The political make up of each committee reflects the political make-up of the council.
Members debate and vote on decisions, so decisions are made collectively by the cross-party membership.
The system was implemented following a legally binding decision in November 2020 and cannot be changed for five years.
A calendar of committee meetings and their respective agendas can be found on the council website.
