Agenda item

(1)          Mr Gough proposed and Miss Cary seconded the following motion:

1.1         “The County Council is invited to approve the recommendation of the Personnel Committee to agree:

·           the deletion of the posts of Director Environment, Planning and Enforcement and Director Economic Development in the Growth, Environment and Transport Directorate.

·           the introduction of three new Divisions, each headed by a new Director role – Transportation; Environment and Waste; and Growth and Communities. 

·           consequential amendments to the current role of Director Highways and Waste

·           that the new structure will operate from 1 April 2021 and that the selection to the new posts will begin immediately if the County Council endorses the recommendation.  The current proposal would result in the Director Highways and Waste being “slotted” under existing HR policies to the new post of Director - Transportation.  Appointments to the other two posts will be made by the Personnel Committee through a Member Appointment Panel.”
