Leading Liverpool Council out of the difficulties it finds itself in is both a professional and personal challenge for its new interim chief executive.
Last month, Theresa Grant was appointed to head up the local authority until May following the resignation of former incumbent Tony Reeves earlier this year. She said her first task after taking up the hot seat at the Cunard building was to bring stability to an organisation that has been rocked by a number of high profile, public failings.
The former Northamptonshire Council chief executive has garnered something of a reputation for being a local authority firefighter, having steered it through reorganisation and its response to the coronavirus pandemic. She said Liverpool itself may need “drastic transformation” to right itself going forward.
