The Conservative and Labour groups jointly voted to determine membership of crucial council committees, including the cabinet and scrutiny panels tasked with holding decision-makers accountable. Out of 14 statutory, scrutiny, and other committee leadership roles, Reform UK secured just one position—Cllr Angela Blythe was appointed vice chair of the Children’s Corporate Parenting Board.
