ROSSENDALE Council's chief executive Owen Williams has been appointed as the council's returning officer.
Mr Owen, who joined the council in May, will take over the reins from Mark Weston, director of corporate support, from today.
He was officially appointed at last night's corporate policy committee, as it is the council's legal requirement to appoint one of its officers as its returning officer.
