Linda said:
“I am delighted to have been re-elected by councillors from across the chamber as Leader of Cornwall Council for a second year.”
“It has been a challenging time for Cornwall, as we come out of the COVID-19 pandemic and into a cost of living crisis caused by worldwide events, while looking balance the council’s budget after years of mismanagement by previous administrations.”
“This Conservative Administration’s priorities remain those that the people of Cornwall told us about ahead of the elections last year.”
- A brilliant place to be a child and grow up
- In a thriving, sustainable Cornwall that offers a secure home, a decent income and a great environment for all
- With vibrant, safe, supportive communities where people help each other live well
- All supported by an empowering and enterprising Council that delivers great value for money
“I must all pay tribute to our council’s actions in taking urgent steps to tackle the housing crisis in Cornwall, which has been exacerbated by the pandemic, in seeking an ambitious devolution package for more powers for our Duchy, and finally in the welcome people in Cornwall have given to people fleeing the conflict in Ukraine.”
“I have also re-appointed my excellent Cabinet from last year and we will continue to work together, as one for the good of the people of Cornwall.”
“I look forward to getting out into our communities soon to continue my work engaging direct with local people to understand how we can best serve you, now and in the future.”
