From Cornwall Council's press office:

The Leader of Cornwall Council, Alec Robertson, has announced a minor reshuffle of the Council's Cabinet.

From Thursday 1 March, Councillor Julian German will become portfolio holder for Localism, Sustainability and Devolution, while Councillor Steve Double will take on the portfolio for Environment, Heritage and Waste Management.

The move has been prompted by the retirement due to ill health of Councillor Ray Tovey from the Cabinet.

"Julian and Steve are already valued members of the Cabinet - I am pleased that they have agreed to take on these roles and look forward to the further contribution they will make.

"I will also be taking this opportunity to review the inevitable cross over areas between portfolios. Details of this and Cabinet Support Member appointments will follow in due course.

"I would like to take this opportunity to thank all Cabinet and members - Cornwall Council is in a strong position as a result of their hard work."
