Authority quits shared chief executives 'experiment'

摘要

Hammersmith & Fulham LBC has pulled out of shared chief executive arrangements with West London neighbour Kensington & Chelsea RLBC, in the wake of a review into wider tri-borough arrangements. Executive director of transport and technical services, Nigel Pallace was installed as Hammersmith & Fulham's interim chief executive on Tuesday - a move that brings to an end the bi-borough chief executive experiment pioneered by Derek Myers in 2011, and which was continued by his successor, Nicholas Holgate. News of the appointment followed on immediately from the earlier publication this week of Labour policy guru Lord Adonis' review into the performance of the tri-borough arrangements, which also involve Westminster City Council.
