Councillor Simon Mabbott has been announced as the new Cabinet Member for SEND and Education at Derbyshire County Council.
Council Leader Councillor Alan Graves made the appointment on Monday 20th October.
Councillor Mabbott is the councillor for Ilkeston South and Kirk Hallam and had held the position of Cabinet Support Member for SEND and Education before accepting the role as Cabinet Member.
In order to accept the new position, Councillor Mabbott has stood down from his position as Chair of the council’s Audit Committee and his seat on the Resources Scrutiny Committee. These vacancies will be filled in due course.
His appointment follows Jack Bradley’s resignation as councillor for the Long Eaton North Division and Cabinet Member for SEND and Education last Thursday for personal reasons.
There is now a vacancy on the county council for the Long Eaton North Division and a notice of vacancy will be published shortly. A by-election will be held in due course.
