Councillor Swindlehurst said: “In May, after the local elections, I said to my cabinet that as I had made changes to some of the portfolios I would not immediately be making changes to the personnel but I would relook in the autumn.
“Each of the cabinet members has been in place for nearly two years and I feel now is the time to bring in some new blood and shake things up a little bit.
“One of the biggest challenges we have facing us is the future of the Slough Children’s Services Trust, balancing finances and the best outcomes for children and I know Martin is a knowledgeable and dedicated cabinet member and a safe pair of hands for such an important portfolio.
“I would also like to welcome Balvinder S Bains to the cabinet as well and look forward to him bring his enthusiasm and new ideas to the table.”
