The next full meeting of Brent Council is to consider a recommendation that Chief Executive, Christine Gilbert, retain her position as interim Brent Council Chief Executive. Gilbert, whose salary arrangements have already been a source of controversy, was last week appointed to a second job in Haringey.
The report says that the recruitment process for a new permanent Chief Executive should be delayed because the current recruitment process for three other CEs in London boroughs would limit the quality of candidates, to allow the restructuring of council senior management to go ahead smoothly, and to ensure continuity and reputation management over the move to the Civic Centre and the 2014 local elections.
