The Chairman and Vice-Chairman
The Chairman’s role is similar to that of a mayor in other councils. It is a non-political role, working primarily to promote the county as a whole rather than the specific policies of the Council. The Vice-Chairman assists the Chairman with these duties. Both are elected (or re-elected) each year by the Council. The role and function of the Chairman is detailed in our Constitution.
- The Chairman is Cllr Roy Galley.
- The Vice Chairman is Cllr Abul Azad.
The Chairman is happy to:
- support activities within the County Council and beyond
- be invited to present awards
- officially open new buildings and projects
- visit County Council teams in their local offices
If you have an event in the future, which you would like the Chairman to attend or visit, please contact:
