Jill Tuck to Stand Down as Council Leader

Jill Tuck, the current Leader of the County Council has announced that she is to stand down as Leader for personal reasons.

This is sad news for the County.  She has been a great leader steering the Council through some very tough times.  I have known Jill for a long time and have huge respect for her - it was in fact her that first persuaded me to join the Conservative Party when we were both Governors at Alderman Jacobs.

I totally respect the reasons for her going and I wish her all the best.
