THE new vice chair of Worcestershire County Council is Redditch representative Councillor Juliet Brunner.
Coun Brunner, who holds the Arrow Valley East (Shared) ward with fellow Conservative Coun Tom Baker-Price at County Hall, also represents Matchborough on the borough council and is a former leader of the party in Redditch and former borough Mayor.
Her election to the role of vice chair of Worcestershire comes just two years after her colleague Coun Brandon Clayton, who also represents Redditch at County Hall and the borough council, was elected chair of the county.
The new chair of the Conservative-controlled authority for the civic year 2020-21 is Coun Bob Brookes (Con, Droitwich East) who steps up from vice chair.
