Liverpool Council ’s new interim chief executive has said the authority might need “drastic transformation” to turn its fortunes around.
Theresa Grant has vowed to “lead by example” after taking up her role at the Cunard Building four weeks ago. Ms Grant, who has been appointed for an eight month period, said the council needs “good, strong leadership” as it attempts to pull itself out of the mire.
The former Northamptonshire Council boss came into Liverpool following the resignation of former chief executive Tony Reeves amid a damning second report by government appointed commissioners overseeing the city. Mr Reeves was appointed in July 2018 having previously worked in the Cunard administration as a consultant.
