Ben Bradley is returning to the top team of Nottinghamshire County Council just a week on from resigning as the authority's leader. Sam Smith, who took over from Councillor Bradley to lead the Conservative-run council, has announced that his predecessor will form part of his cabinet.
The news comes after Councillor Bradley lost in his bid to become the Conservative Party's candidate for the first ever Lincolnshire mayoral election. The recent loss came at the end of a year which has also seen Councillor Bradley lose his Mansfield seat at the general election and lose out to Labour in the East Midlands Mayor election.The next Nottinghamshire County Council election will be taking place in May 2025, when the Conservatives will attempt to retain control of the authority.
Councillor Smith said: "I am delighted that Councillor Bradley has accepted the education and SEND brief as it is one of the key areas this administration is prioritising. I'm confident that Councillors Bradley and Moxon will be a formidable team when it comes to making the best decisions for the young people in Nottinghamshire.
