Royal Borough’s Cabinet welcomes two new members

The Royal Borough of Windsor & Maidenhead is welcoming two new Cabinet members as part of updates to portfolio responsibilities, following the recent election of Councillor Joshua Reynolds as Maidenhead’s new MP.
Cabinet welcomes two new members: Cllr Douglas and Cllr Wilson

Councillor Jack Douglas, the council’s Volunteering Champion, takes over from Councillor Reynolds as Cabinet Member for Communities & Leisure. His role encompasses sports development, leisure services, countryside & parks, libraries, the Community Lottery, cemeteries, registrars, Windsor Guildhall, tourism and volunteering.

The other new face on Cabinet is Councillor Mark Wilson, who holds a freshly-created post of Cabinet Member for Corporate Services. His responsibilities cover procurement, quarterly assurance, HR, pension services, legal services, and working with Councillors Simon Werner and Lynne Jones on the all-important transformation programme which is vital to fix the finances of the council.

There have also been slight changes to some portfolios and titles as a result as these updates. Councillor Reynolds will continue to serve as a ward councillor. 

The Cabinet members and titles are:

  • Councillor Simon Werner – Leader of the Council, Community Partnerships & Maidenhead
  • Councillor Lynne Jones – Deputy Leader of the Council, Finance
  • Councillor Karen Davies – Climate Change, Biodiversity and Windsor Town Council
  • Councillor Amy Tisi – Children’s Services, Education & Windsor
  • Councillor Catherine Del Campo – Adult Services, Health & Housing Services

  • Councillor Adam Bermange – Planning, Governance & Asset Management
  • Councillor Geoff Hill – Highways and Transport & Customer Service Centre 
  • Councillor Richard Coe – Household & Regulatory Services
  • Councillor Mark Wilson – Corporate Services

Councillor Werner said: “We were left with a key vacancy on Cabinet after Josh’s election to Parliament, which provided the ideal opportunity to welcome two extra councillor colleagues to the Cabinet table and realign some of the portfolio responsibilities.

“We all look forward to continuing to work closely together and with our partners to serve communities across the Royal Borough, progressing our Council Plan vision of achieving a borough of safer, greener and cleaner communities, with opportunity for all.”
