Liverpool City Council has named its new permanent chief executive.
At tonight's budget full council meeting, Mayor Joanne Anderson announced that that Andrew Lewis will become the local authority's most senior officer, with his appointment ratified at the meeting.
The 53-year old joins the local authority from Cheshire West and Chester Council, where he has been chief executive since 2018. Cheshire West and Chester is recognised as one of the country’s most effective councils, and a partner with Liverpool on issues such as transport, low carbon industry and health integration.
