Councillor Martyn Ashford was duly elected as Chairman of Warwick District Council and Councillor Pam Redford was elected as Vice-Chair. 

Although the online proceedings were very much a first for the Council, the new Chairman Councillor Ashford kept with tradition in naming his chosen Chairman’s Charity for the coming year as the British Heart Foundation;

Councillor Ashford commented;

“As your newly elected Chairman of Warwick District Council, I have chosen the British Heart Foundation. I feel it’s important to support this charity because heart disease affects more people in the UK than any other condition. I am therefore aiming to raise funds during my year in office to support their drive to encourage healthier lifestyles which will prolong life spans by many years.”
