Following Cllr Linda Taylor’s unopposed re-election as Leader of Cornwall Council, Cllr Taylor has made two changes to Cornwall Council’s Cabinet, with Cllr Connor Donnithorne standing down as Cabinet Member for Customers from June, being replaced by Cllr Martin Worth, who is currently Chairman of the council’s Economic Growth and Development Overview and Scrutiny Committee.
Commenting Cllr Connor Donnithorne said:
“I have been proud to serve our Duchy as the youngest ever Cabinet Member at Cornwall Council. I have always tried to listen to the concerns of local people and businesses and tried my best to serve the long term interests of Cornwall. I am the first to acknowledge that difficult decisions have been made and we have not got everything right. But I am proud to have played a small part in making Cornwall fairer and stronger including protecting free bus passes for Cornish pensioners, investing an extra £9.1 million into fixing more local roads and creating the first ever free bus pass for Cornish care leavers aged between 18-25.”
“I will continue to serve as the Cornwall Councillor for Redruth Central, Carharrack and St Day to make our Duchy an even better place to be born, work and raise a family. And as the General Election draws near, I will be out every day to earn the trust and support of residents across Camborne, Redruth and Hayle to be elected as our next Member of Parliament for our part of Cornwall.”
Commenting, Cllr Martin Worth said:
“I am honoured to take up this cabinet Portfolio Holder for Customers role on behalf of all the residents of Cornwall. Living directly on the banks of the River Tamar, I join Linda and her cabinet to build on their achievements, by working hard and offering my experience in business & emerging technology, to the benefit of everyone.”
