A)  Senior Management Structure

It was moved by Councillor Wright,

Seconded by Councillor Morris,

“This Council resolves to urgently review the structure of the senior management team at Slough Borough Council.  The high number of “interim” directors and vacancies delivers no value for money for taxpayers and has led to a deterioration in some areas of service delivery. A review into a new senior management structure is needed that will drive permanent employment into key senior posts and deliver value for money, transparency, stability and quality services is critically required within the next 12 weeks.”
