The chief executive of Bristol City Council is quitting his job to move to London and run two councils in the capital.
Mike Jackson has worked for the council in Bristol since 2018, but will leave the city this autumn to take up a new role as chief executive of Wandsworth and Richmond borough councils. The move will likely be approved by councillors in the two boroughs this week.
Mayor Marvin Rees said Mr Jackson has “one of the toughest jobs in the city”, but would leave Bristol “in a stronger, more stable place”. The chief executive role is a non-political civil servant position, responsible for the day-to-day operational running of the council.
