Acting Leader appointed for Christchurch Borough Council
Cllr David Flagg has been appointed as Acting Leader for Christchurch Borough Council after vote of no confidence held in the former leadership team.
The decision to appoint Cllr Flag comes after a vote of no confidence held in the former leadership team of Cllr Ray Nottage and Cllr Claire Bath, by the Conservative group.
Cllr Flagg, who represents the Burton Ward, has been a councillor for 18 years and was portfolio holder for Effective Council prior to his appointment as Acting Leader.
Cllr David Flagg, now in position as Acting Leader of the Council, Christchurch Borough Council, said, “My priority now is moving forward with all members of Christchurch Borough Council. This is an extremely important time for local authorities across Dorset and Christchurch. Councillors must now take time to explore the alternative local government reorganisation options that we feel would achieve the best outcomes for service delivery and our residents.
“I look forward to working with colleagues to ensure the council continues to run efficiently and effectively and am honoured members have trusted me with the position of Leader.”
A new Leader will be formally appointed by the Conservative group when they meet in March. All existing Portfolio Holders currently remain in post.
