Appointment of the Executive Director of Housing and Neighbourhoods

The panel is scheduled to consider the appointment of the Executive Director of Housing and Neighbourhoods. This role is a chief officer position, and as such, the appointment process is subject to the provisions of the Local Government Act 2000, which allows for reasonable objection from all members of the Executive. The report pack indicates that the press and public may be excluded from this part of the meeting due to the likely disclosure of exempt information. The report pack states that the public interest in maintaining the exemption currently outweighs the public interest in disclosing the information. ¹
