Nottingham City Council's executive board will soon undergo a number of changes as four councillors step down from their roles. The shake-up comes after the Labour-run council approved a new budget, with cuts to a number of services, and amid continued scrutiny from an improvement board which is overseeing efforts to balance its books.
As part of the rejig the deputy leader of the council, Sally Longford, will be standing down. Councillor Longford, who represents Lenton and Wollaton East, will drop the title of deputy after three years but retain her role as portfolio holder for energy and environment.
She said: "The role of deputy leader has at times been very challenging but rewarding, and it’s been a real privilege to have held such a key position for our great city. I would like to take the opportunity to thank all the people who have supported me in these interesting times."
