Mayor of Leicester Sir Peter Soulsby has unveiled his new cabinet of councillors.

The new leader of the city yesterday announced he had re-appointed three current cabinet members – Mohammed Dawood, Vi Dempster and Sarah Russell.

Two appointees, Piara Singh Clair and Manjula Sood, are former lord mayors, while Ted Cassidy is the only newly-elected councillor to make the cabinet cut.
