Councillor B Murphy requested that it be noted that he objected to these appointments to new senior posts taking place before the appointment of a substantive Chief Executive had been made and that he was of the opinion that they should be deferred until after that appointment had been made. He also asked that his concern about the composition of the appointments panel be noted.
The Interim Chief Executive explained that this process was implementing the decision taken at the full Council meeting on 28 February 2013, where Members had made clear their wish to implement the new management structure quickly.
