Honoured to be confirmed as the new @graveshambc Deputy Leader of the Council & Cabinet Member for Strategic Environment at Annual Council tonight. Thanks to Group Colleagues & Council for this privilege & I pay tribute to Lee for his service as Deputy Leader before me. Lauren becomes the new Cabinet Member for Community and Leisure after six years in this role both as Shadow Cabinet Member and Cabinet Member. Thanks to all Officers for their work in my previous Portfolio.
Delighted to visit the construction site of the new Fleet Leisure (former Bowaters) sports centre today in #Coldharbour with the developers as Phase One of the project is installed. The pitches, lighting, fencing etc is all due to be in ready to open Phase One in March 2023. The materials are now all here and on site which has been a large part of the delay. Residents will start to see the infrastructure going in over the next few weeks after Christmas.
