New leader announces his team

Councillor Warren Morgan, Leader of the Labour and Cooperative Group on Brighton and Hove City Council has appointed his team of spokespeople for the year ahead.

One addition to the team is Cllr Chaun Wilson who was elected last October in a by-election win in East Brighton when Cllr Craig Turton stood down. She has been appointed spokesperson on Housing Strategy and Equalities.
