Chief Executive, Basingstoke and Deane BC

摘要

An exceptional opportunity has arisen as Chief Executive to lead a go-ahead local authority.Basingstoke and Deane BC is looking for a successor to Mel Barrett, who is moving to head up Nottingham City Council in September, and its leader Cllr Ken Rhatigan says: 'Our senior leadership group comprises an outstanding group of talented professionals, with a shared vision and clear collective purpose, so our incoming Chief Executive can be assured of inheriting a thoroughly collegiate and extremely capable team. Basingstoke and Deane offers a fantastic platform on which to build, and we have a great story to tell.' The council has a resident satisfaction rate of 95% and is financially secure with a strong asset base while the borough is home to some 7,900 businesses, including major multinational firms, an economy valued at £7.4bn and a local £4bn development programme. There is a £500m town centre business park regeneration at Basing View, leveraging the council's own extensive landholdings. It is a sought-after area with a growing population. Over the last year 1,574 new homes were completed in the borough - the highest level of completions for nearly 30 years, including 494 affordable homes. And the council is taking a direct hand in setting high standards for new homes. It has just signed a pioneering partnership deal to develop a £1.2bn new homes project at Manydown, already green lighted for planning.
