The Council has set out a range of priorities that will support a successful and sustainable local economy, create opportunities for our residents, and help to shape a great place to live.
Though budgets in local government continue to challenge, we look forward with confidence in our financial resilience and our ability to achieve even greater value for money. We’ve saved £8.6m from our budgets since 2010 and this has been enhanced by delivering £4.4m revenue through a successful investment strategy.
Following the most recent district elections which took place in May 2019, the political structure of the Council is as follows:
The Leader of the Council is Councillor Graham Butland.
The Green and Independent Group Leader is Councillor James Abbott.
The Halstead Residents Association Group Leader is Councillor Mrs Jackie Pell.
The Labour Group Leader is Councillor David Mann.
