New IW Cabinet Announced UPDATED
Wednesday, 26th September, 2007 at 6:01 pm, Isle of Wight
New Island leader, David Pugh, has announced his new cabinet.
They are …
(Now with added links for your enjoyment)
- Councillor David Pugh – Leader of Isle of Wight Council and Cabinet Member for Housing, Leisure and Governance
- Councillor George Brown – Deputy Leader and Cabinet Member for Economy, Planning and Property
- Councillor Alan Wells – Cabinet Member for Children and Young People
- Councillor Diana Tuson JP – Cabinet Member for Safer Communities
- Councillor Tim Hunter-Henderson – Cabinet Member for Environment and Transport
- Councillor Dawn Cousins – Cabinet Member for Health and Wellbeing
- Councillor Barry Abraham – Cabinet Member for Residents and Resources
There’s two new faces Councillor Diana Tuson JP and Councillor Alan Wells.

There’s been a reduction in posts from ten to seven, which, we are told, will see a full year savings of around £40,000. One of those to go is Cabinet Secretary, which has been shifted outside the cabinet and the role renamed to Cabinet Secretary for Town and Parish Councils, with Councillor Jilly Wood taking this role.
The appointments were made under a delegated decision by Councillor David Pugh.

OK, relatively young, but he hardly looks 13.

It all depends on how far away from 13 you are!

@annie – Ha ha – very good point.
I guess building a lot of experience/age difference around you is important if your relative inexperience is a potential weakness.
