Children’s boss Cllr Joe Caluori will be replaced on the licensing committee by backbench Labour member Cllr Troy Gallagher and he will also replace chief whip Cllr Alice Perry as a member of the policy and performance scrutiny group.

A Labour Group spokesman said: “This is a minor change to committee memberships and similar changes take place routinely throughout the year.”
