A change in Chairman of the Council
Yesterday evening Cllr Wayne Salisbury was unanimously elected as Chairman of Willaston Parish Council at the Annual Meeting of the Council.
At the meeting Cllr Salisbury signed the acceptance of office and received the chains of office from Cllr Craig Bailey who stepped down after 5 years as Chairman.
At the start of the meeting Cllr Bailey made an announcement that he was stepping down saying:
“In 2019 I was elected as Chairman following the retirement of my predecessor Maurice Jones. To be chosen by my peers to hold the Office of Chairman has been both an honour and a privilege. After four re-elections, I now feel the time has come for me step back from the role.
I would like to thank my fellow councillors for their confidence in me and the residents for their support. It has been a pleasure to lead the Council and to serve my community, and I hope I have in some part made a positive contribution in this endeavour. I wish the new Chairman well and I look forward to continuing to serve as a local councillor”.
Cllr Anna Cutts was re-elected as Vice-Chairman of the Council for a second term.
