Oxfordshire County Council’s cabinet member for highway management will move to a new role.
Lib Dem councillor Tim Bearder announced the move on Twitter this evening.
Mr Bearder will now be the county council’s cabinet member for adult social care, with fellow Lib Dem councillor Andrew Gant replacing him in the highway management position.
The eagled-eyed will have noticed there's been a reshuffle at County Hall and I am moving to take on a vitally important and incredibly challenging role in Adult Social Care. Sad to be leaving Highways where I believe we started something transformative: https://t.co/ylapYSpXXF

“Massive thanks to all the supportive groups and individuals who share the same desire to do things differently, break the mould and create a better Oxfordshire. Too many to name but you know who you are. I'll stay an active participant in every way I can.
