Could YOU be our next County Commissioner?

It’s nearly 12 years since Cheshire had a change of County Commissioner and the Regional Commissioner has decided that now is an appropriate time to start the process to recruit a new County Commissioner for Cheshire. Graham Phillips has led the County for all those 12 years and it has been agreed that his term of office will end on Sunday 31 January 2021.

The recruitment process has now commenced, with the intention of confirming the new County Commissioner before Christmas and then to use January for a structured handover.

Dates for your diary
The closing date for applications is 15th November 2020
