Parish Council chair steps down

At last night's Audlem Parish Council meeting, chairman Phillip Johnson announced that he was stepping down.

A vote was taken and Heather Jones was elected chair unanimously by the other nine parish councillors in attendance.

A vote was also held to elect the new vice-chairman, the post previously held by Heather Jones. As there were two proposed candidates, a secret ballot resulted in Geoff Seddon being elected.

Heather Jones, on behalf of the Parish Council, thanked Phillip Johnson for all his work over the previous year.

Phillip also thanked councillors for all their support and said that it had been a year of successes, such as Audlem winning the Championship award across all of Cheshire, and challenges, particularly the major planning applications in the village.

He particularly thanked the Planning Committee for all their hard work on the current Gladman application at Little Heath.
