It was with great pleasure that I recently accepted the new role of cabinet assistant to the two cabinet members responsible for Corporate Services. This is an exciting, if unpaid, opportunity to significantly increase my experience. The other side of the coin is that Jill Tuck, the leader of the council, wants to use my business experience to help guide the council through these difficult times.

I am expecting this to be lots of hard work but rewarding. Of course, the responsibilities for each portfollio remains strictly with the cabinet member, I am just their to help.
