The Leader of Kent County Council (KCC) has announced a change to her Cabinet.

Linden Kemkaran says Bill Barrett, who represents Ashford Rural South, made the decision to step down from his role as Cabinet Member for Highways and Transport.

He will be replaced by his deputy Peter Osborne, Member for Hythe West.

“I have today made changes to my Cabinet team to support me, and Kent County Council, to deliver the ambitious plans we have set out to improve this authority and the county of Kent,” said Linden Kemkaran.

“It’s still early days for the Reform administration at KCC, and reshuffling and fine tuning my Cabinet is something I have to do as Leader, to ensure that I have the best possible team around the top table who can deliver on the promises we have made to Kent residents.

“Every member of my Cabinet took the role on the understanding that their position may be subject to changes.”
