To confirm that the Director of Growth will
act as my designated deputy during my absence throughout from 20 to
28 March 2025 inclusive. They will be known as 'Acting Chief
Executive' during this period.
All Councillors and the Senior Leadership Team were advised of this
decision on 29 January 2025.
In accordance with my authority in Part 4
(Officer Scheme of Delegation General Principles), Annexe 1,
paragraph 1.2 of the Council's Constitution, as Chief Executive, I
may allocate or delegate responsibility for exercising particular
powers to any officer of the Council as I think fit.
The powers to be delegate to this officer are those set out under
my existing delegation at Part 4 (Officer Scheme of Delegation),
Annex 1.
It should be noted that the Director of Growth has a similar
delegation to ensure there is adequate cover and support to the
organisation during this period of absence.
This authority shall be retained by these officers for the period
of the delegation and shall not exceed a period of six
months.
To allow no officer delegation in my absence
presents too high risk of the Council being unable to operate as
the Constitution and law requires.
