Reform has revealed its new cabinet who will be the decision-makers at Warwickshire County Council. There was a delay in revealing the all-important cabinet members at Shire Hall, who will
be in charge of major areas such as the budget, education and roads. Council Leader Rob Howard announced the newly-appointed portfolio holders. But there remains one position yet to be
filled - transport and planning. But Reform, which is the largest party at the county council, has said that a decision on the appointment will be made 'forthwith'. In the
meantime, Shire Hall leader Cllr Howard said that they intend to start delivering results for locals that were previously 'lacking'. READ MORE: YOUTUBER 'PUSHED TO THE GROUND

many talented and willing individuals to work alongside me in leading this council," said Nuneaton-based councillor Cllr Howard said. "With a vast array of real-world experience,
managing budgets and delivering results, my cabinet stands ready to deliver the change Warwickshire needs." As part of the cabinet appointments, Bedworth Cllr George Finch has been
officially made Deputy Leader of the Council, having served as Deputy Leader of the Reform group since the election. "It’s an honour to be given such responsibility and a privilege to
serve Warwickshire. I look forward to working with every portfolio holder to deliver meaningful results and deliver on the electoral mandate we were given at the start of this month,"
said Cllr Finch, who is the youngest ever councillor at Shire Hall. THE CABINET * Leader and Portfolio Holder for the Economy - Cllr Rob Howard * Deputy Leader and Portfolio Holder for
