Monmouthshire County Council’s Cabinet is made up of seven County Councillors – Leader, Deputy Leader, and Cabinet Members with responsibility for specific service areas and priorities across the county. Each Cabinet is chosen, following local elections, for a five year term. With many new faces in the current Cabinet, we’ve put together these ‘Meet the Cabinet’ videos in which they tell us a bit about themselves, including what motivated them to become a Councillor, what their interests are, what they hope to achieve over the next five years, and what their values and aims are.
