Devon County Council leader John Hart renews Cabinet
Dear colleague,
John Hart, Leader of Devon
County Council, has today renewed his Cabinet following the resignation of Will
Mumford, who had been the Cabinet Member responsible for education and
children's services.
Some of you may be aware that Will is a surveyor, and has been appointed
Operations Director of property company NPS South West. NPS contracts for work
with Devon County Council and Will has resigned his Council seat to avoid any
conflict of interest.
He will be replaced by
Hatherleigh and Chagford Councillor James McInnes, a former Leader of West
Devon Borough Council, who currently chairs Devon's Development Management
Committee.
I know many of you have worked closely with Will following the Ofsted
inspection and that we will be sorry to lose his professional challenge and
drive for improvement in children’s services. However, James takes on the role
with equal enthusiasm and commitment and I am sure you will join me in
welcoming him.
James is looking forward to meeting people across the service soon.
 Jennie Stephens, Strategic Director People
