Councillor Mark Mills-Bishop has announced that he is stepping down from his role as Leader of the Council.
Councillor Mills-Bishop said:
I want to thank all my colleagues across the Council for the support they have given me in what turned out to be a transition year. When I took up the role of Leader, none of us expected the Government’s decision to implement Local Government Reform and Devolution which has led to a significant amount of work for all involved.
Together, officers and councillors have taken some difficult decisions in order to balance the budget, but I am proud to say that we managed to do so without cutting services.
Broxbourne is in a fantastic position, and I wish my colleagues the best as they continue to guide the Borough into the future.
The new Leader of the Council will be announced at the Annual Council meeting on Tuesday 13 May.
