David Bill hands over Council Group Leadership

Statement from Cllr David Bill: "Having taken the advice of doctors, I have come to the conclusion that the time has come to hand over the leadership of the Council and the Liberal Democrat group. It has been a great honour to serve in this capacity and I wish to thank everyone for their support over the years and indeed all the kind wishes I received during my recent illness. I will, of course, continue to play an active role as a member of both the County and Borough Councils and will do my best to continue to serve the people of the area."
