Play all audios:


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
