At The Annual Council meeting on Wednesday [April 23], councillors approved the Cabinet members put forward by Council Leader, Claire Holland.
The new team includes Brixton Acre Lane councillor David Bridson, who will share the role of Cabinet Member for Healthier Communities with Cllr Nanda Manley-Browne. Cllr Timothy Windle is stepping down from cabinet.
Cllr Judith Cavanagh becomes Deputy Cabinet Member for Finance.
Word from the Leader of the Council
Cllr Holland said the new team, which also includes policy lead and champions appointments “reflects the wonderful diversity of our borough.”
She added: “I’m delighted to welcome Cllr Bridson to lead health and equalities with Cllr Manley-Browne, bringing his lived experience as a care leaver, and a member of Lambeth’s LGBTQ+ community, to better inform and shape our work.
“And I welcome Cllr Cavanagh as deputy cabinet to support Cllr Amos, to steer us through the most challenging financial landscape whilst continuing to support the most vulnerable. I want to thank Cllr Tim Windle for his work, stepping in and stepping up; his contributions will be sorely missed in cabinet.”
The council meeting also elected Brixton Rush Common councillor Adrian Garden as the borough’s Mayor for 2025-26, following Cllr John-Paul Ennis, who now becomes a Policy Lead for Young People.
