To receive and consider the report of the Chief Executive.

That the proposed changes to the director structure approve for consultation in line with the council’s Change Policy.

The Executive Leader, Councillor Alistair Bradley presented the report of the Chief Executive which set out proposals for changes to the director structure to ensure it remains fit for purpose.

The director structure had vacancies, with temporary arrangements in place to manage services including the use of interim posts. It was an appropriate time to review those vacant posts and consider how they should be replaced or filled.

As the posts deleted were vacant, there were no redundancies expected as part of the proposed changes. However, as the proposals made changes to posts and the management structure, the council’s Change Policy would be followed.

If the proposals in this report were approved, there would be a period of consultation.  The feedback received would inform any changes that may be required to the proposed structure.  Following consultation, the final structure would be agreed by the Leader.

A comment regarding the need to hold the right member to account on the Leisure Company was noted. 

The Executive Leader, Councillor Alistair Bradley proposed and the Deputy Executive Leader, Councillor Peter Wilson seconded, and it was Resolved (unanimously):

That the proposed changes to the director structure approve for consultation in line with the council’s Change Policy.
