A change has been made within Scarborough Council’s cabinet including oversight of Tourism and Marketing.
Councillor Jim Grieve has been appointed as Portfolio Holder for Quality of Life in place of Cllr Phil Kershaw.
Both councillors are members of the Independent Group on the authority that runs the council alongside Labour.
The Local Democracy Reporting Service understands that it was Cllr Kershaw’s decision to stand down from the cabinet and that he remains a member of the Independent Group.
Cllr Kershaw, who has represented the Woodlands division on the council since 2019, has been approached for comment.
As part of the change, the council has also announced that the areas of Tourism and Marketing have been moved into Cllr Grieve’s new portfolio.
They had previously been under the remit of Cllr Liz Colling who holds the Inclusive Growth cabinet position.
Cllr Grieve, who represents Weaponness & Ramshill, also joined the council following the 2019 local elections.
This is the Coast is committed to providing a daily local news service for the Yorkshire Coast. We are a small locally owned and operated business which employs professional journalists and reporters. We do not receive any public funding or grants and we are entirely funded by our local commercial operations. We enjoy fabulous support from local businesses who work with us on their advertising and marketing campaigns, but the cost of providing high quality, well researched, fact checked local news coverage is significant.
If you appreciate what This is the Coast does, and would like to help support our journalism, please consider supporting us on a monthly basis today.
A small contribution from all our readers would really help support independent journalism for the Yorkshire Coast.
