Chris Roberts re-elected as Council Leader
May 19, 2010 by Rob Powell
Greenwich Council met this evening at Woolwich Town Hall for the Council Annual Meeting.
The meeting, which lasted just 13 minutes, saw Cllr Chris Roberts (Glyndon, Labour) re-elected as Leader of the Council for the next four years – a post he has held since 2001.
Also on the agenda at the meeting was the appointment of Cabinet Members and the establishment of, and appointment of members to, Council Committees and Panels for 2010/11.
Cllr Barbara Barwick (Woolwich Riverside, Labour) was elected as the Mayor of Greenwich for 2010/11 with Cllr Jim Gillman (Kidbrooke with Hornfair, Labour) appointed as her Deputy.
The Mayor-elect’s inauguration will take place next Wednesday at the Old Royal Naval College’s Painted Hall.
Roberts, again? Incomprehensible.
