Proposals for restructure of Directorate Leadership Teams

Minutes:

The Cabinet Member for Business Transformation and Customers presented a report setting out proposals for the restructure of Directorate Leadership teams. It was explained that the changes would enable the Council to deliver on the Council Plan 2019-23 whilst sustaining an effective response to the challenges still presented by the pandemic, with a particular focus on supporting delivery of the Council’s economic recovery and community recovery action plans.

 

The restructure would also deliver leadership resources to take forward the Council’s organisational development programme, recognising the current pressures on the Medium-Term Financial Plan and the need to use resources wisely.
