Liverpool Council expects to appoint a new full-time chief executive by next May.
Following the resignation of former authority boss Tony Reeves earlier this year, Liverpool Council confirmed last month it had moved to appoint former Northamptonshire County Council chief Theresa Grant to step in on an interim basis. It was certified last night that Ms Grant will lead the organisation for a period of around eight months.
During a full meeting of Liverpool Council, members officially agreed to Ms Grant’s appointment as head of paid service, returning officer and electoral registration officer until May 2023. Since Mr Reeves stepped down in July, the role of head of paid service had been held by Anne Marie Lubanksi, the council’s director of adult services and health, on a temporary basis.
