Interim arrangements for a number of high-paying jobs at Northumberland County Council are set to continue for up to six more months.
The measures were initially brought in place last August following the departure of deputy chief executive Kelly Angus, in order to "provide additional strategic support to the executive team".
Internal applicants were given pay increases to step up for a calendar year, with the expectation that the senior management structure at the council would have been reviewed by the end of this month. However, that review has not happened.
