The interim head of Europe's largest local authority has been appointed to the role on a permanent basis.
Deborah Cadman joined Birmingham City Council last summer as its interim chief executive, having moved over from her post as CEO of the West Midlands Combined Authority.
At the time, the city council said the appointment would last until after this summer's Commonwealth Games which starts on July 28 but it has now announced Ms Cadman has been recruited on a permanent basis.
