LGC rounds up the latest appointments and departures in local government
Southwark LBC chief executive
Eleanor Kelly has joined the government and NHS national vaccinations team in a senior role that will involve coordinating the local government response. The role is temporary and she is expected to return to the borough.
Ms Kelly, who has been Southwark chief for eight years, held one of the senior roles on London’s strategic coordinating group when it was convened at the start of the pandemic and led the gold command operation in the aftermath of the Grenfell Tower fire.
Nick Walkley is stepping down as the chief executive of Homes England at the end of the month.
