Senior Management Team

In September 2007 our Council endorsed the recommendation by auditors to establish a Register of Interests for all Council members and senior members of staff.

As we have a statutory responsibility to act in the public interest, and to be open and transparent in carrying out our work, we have included this information for our Senior Management Team.
