Councillor David Rouane, Leader of South Oxfordshire District Council has this week (Thursday 16 May) confirmed details of the council’s new cabinet.

The new cabinet has been confirmed as:

• Councillor David Rouane – Leader and Cabinet Member for Climate Action, Communications and Legal and Democratic Services
• Councillor Maggie Filipova-Rivers – Cabinet Member for Housing and Community Hub and statutory Deputy Leader
• Councillor Robin Bennett – Cabinet Member for Economic Development and Regeneration, and Deputy Leader
• Councillor Pieter-Paul Barker – Cabinet Member for Finance and Property Assets
• Councillor Sam Casey-Rerhaye – Cabinet Member for Corporate Services

• Councillor Georgina Heritage – Cabinet Member for Communities
• Councillor Sam James-Lawrie – Cabinet Member for Environment
• Councillor Anne-Marie Simpson – Cabinet Member for Planning

Cllr David Rouane, said: “I’d like to thank our existing cabinet members and welcome our new cabinet members. I believe we have a good balance of a cabinet with a wealth of experience and abilities, alongside three new members who will, I have no doubt, bring a fresh approach and ideas to their roles. We have made the decision to split the Community Wellbeing portfolio into two – Housing and Communities – as the amount of work that we are doing in those areas continues to grow.

“I’d also like to take a moment to thank those cabinet members who have stepped down, who have, many for a number of years, worked tirelessly on the cabinet in support of delivering our priorities for the benefit of residents and businesses across the district.”
