Part A of the agenda, as outlined in the Agenda frontsheet 21st-Sep-2026 10.00 Appointments Disciplinary Committee, will focus on progressing the recruitment process for this role. The committee is expected to agree on any candidates who will proceed to a Final Panel Interview.

Part B of the agenda, detailed in the Public reports pack 21st-Sep-2026 10.00 Appointments Disciplinary Committee, will involve the Final Panel Interview(s) for candidates who were agreed upon during the previous meeting on 14 September 2026. This part of the meeting is scheduled to be held in a private session, with the press and public excluded.

The meeting is scheduled to be chaired by Mayor Jason Perry, with Councillor Lynne Hale serving as Vice-Chair.
