The Council Committee Chairs are:

• Alderman John Rawnsley the Chair for Finance,

• and previous Deputy Mayor, Alderman Brendan Heenan will Chair the Technical Services Committee.

Council Committee Chairs and Deputy Mayor positions are elected on a yearly basis each March.  The previous Deputy Mayor, Alderman Heenan, did not stand for re-election of Deputy and Council thanks him for his commitment to the role.
