Liverpool Council is moving closer to appointing staff to a series of key roles including a new deputy chief executive.
In May, Mel Creighton, former director of finance and deputy chief executive, stepped down from her role following the disastrous energy bill error that engulfed the local authority. Ms Creighton, who had been in post for three-and-a-half years, was soon followed out of the door by her boss, Tony Reeves, who left his position as chief executive in July.
Now, the council’s appointments and disciplinary panel is to meet next week to consider proposals to interview a candidate for the post. The appointment of a new deputy chief executive, to work alongside interim top officer Theresa Grant, is one of four roles the council is looking to fill permanently.
