He said: “I have put my heart into serving this council for the past 15 years and now is the right time to hand over the leadership of the council. I look forward to continuing to support the council and its residents in every way I can.

“It has been an absolute honour and privilege to serve the people of South Ribble.”

Coun Green added: "I would like to thank Coun Mullineaux and the cabinet for their hard work and for the progress which has been made. I wish Coun Mullineaux every happiness in his future plans. The Conservative Group is determined that South Ribble will continue to be a great place to live and work."
