Kevin takes over party leadership
Cllr Prochak, recently re-elected with an increased personal vote, has served for 22 years and has been the leader of the Lib Dem Group for much of that time.
Cllr Prochak said: “We have been discussing the possibility of Kevin taking over the leader’s role for some time now. We recognise in Kevin considerable strengths and personal qualities which make him the right person for the job.

Cllr Dixon was elected to serve Battle in 2007. He was the youngest president of Battle and District Chamber of Commerce and youngest Battle Town Mayor.
