Minutes Public Pack, 06/01/2026 Employment Committee
What it recommends
- “Given the areas of work the CEO has involvement in, and in discussion with the interim CEO, group leaders and senior staff, the rational for further extension of the interim CEO can be summarised as follows:”
- “LGR and Devolution projects require continuity of leadership and strategic oversight.”
- “The interim CEO’s experience in managing complex change programmes is invaluable.”
- “Recruitment of a permanent Chief Executive during this transitional phase may disrupt progress and incur additional costs.”
- “The benefit of having a CEO who covers 3 local authorities within the context of LGR results in a stronger lobbying voice in raising key issues in a regional and national context. (The Chair declared the meeting closed at. 5.00 pm) This page is intentionally left blank.”
