Liverpool City Council has lost another chief finance officer, who is leaving the troubled local authority after just ten weeks.
Chris Buss was brought in as the council's acting Section 151 officer - a statutory responsible finance officer position - in June. He stepped into the role after the resignation of former finance director and deputy chief executive Mel Creighton, who quit her post at the end of May.
Ms Creighton resigned shortly after news came to light of a series of council errors that may have added millions of pounds to the city's electricity contract. Her then boss, Tony Reeves, would go on to resign in July.
