“I’m pleased to welcome Martin to the Blackpool family. “People who work in Blackpool and for the council are really committed to making our town better for the people who live here and Martin really showed that commitment to make a difference. “He will join us at a really interesting time, as we are making improvements to our adult social care in a way that will help adults to take ownership of the care that works for them and looking ahead to the challenge that will come with local government reorganisation. “Fortunately for Martin, he will lead a workforce that is highly passionate and committed to the task at hand - making sure that everybody who needs to draw on our support can rely on an excellent service.”
