Redbridge Council has finally filled important cabinet positions left vacant for months amid a dramatic reshuffle announced today.
The positions responsible for housing and crime have both been vacant for at least three months after one cabinet member publicly resigned and another quietly stepped down.
The cabinet member in charge of civic pride - including the controversial Quiet Streets programme - has left his position for a newly created role, with another councillor stepping up to replace him.
This means the number of councillors in the full cabinet has increased from nine to 10, with some councillors taking on new responsibilities in addition to their old work.
