Council Deputy Leader joins NRR board

The Deputy Leader of Bath and North East Somerset Council has become the newest appointee to the Norton Radstock Regeneration Company’s Board of Directors.

Cllr Nathan Hartley, who is also the B&NES Cabinet Member for Early Years, Children and Youth, joined the board last month.

The NRR Company is a not for profit, public interest organisation, set up to manage the regeneration of the former railway land in the centre of Radstock.

Nathan commented:

“I’m delighted to have been appointed as a new Director of this important regeneration project.

For many years, the Company has wanted only the very best for the area. That of improving community infrastructure, developing a broader economic base for Radstock, providing more local jobs, housing and building a town that will attract more visitors.

I agree with these aims wholeheartedly, and look forward to working with the other Directors to push the town’s regeneration forward, and achieving success in the very near future.”

Cllr Hartley has been a member of the Council since first being elected in May 2007. He has a strong interest in community development, making sure local people have access to high quality services, and that our towns and villages are places people feel proud to be a part of.

Cate Le Grice Mack, the Chairman of the Board, said of Nathan’s appointment:

"We welcome Cllr Hartley's appointment to the board, replacing former Cllr John Whittock who gave valuable service during the last three years.  Nathan's experience and links within the local communities will be of great value to NRR's project delivery.”
