An extraordinary meeting of Northumberland County Council has been called next week, with members set to debate new arrangements for the role of its most senior officer.
A report will be presented to councillors asking them to consider the interim arrangements for the role of head of paid service – also known as the council’s chief executive.
The current CEO, Daljit Lally, is currently on a period of extended leave. It follows significant criticism of leadership at the authority in the Max Caller report, as well as a Section 114 notice issued as a result of “ unlawful expenditure” relating to the council’s international health consultancy business.
