Project management and delivery

Paul Lakin, Director of Economic Regeneration & Capital Growth, advised on staffing changes to support delivery after a managed handover from Deloitte, including a Radcliffe Project Manager due to start in March 2021, an Assistant Director post focused on delivery and one focused on strategy to ensure resources were available and staff could be proactive on funding opportunities. He also advised that other Council departments were involved as necessary, under a matrix management approach.

Movement of Council Offices

In response to a Member’s question, it was noted that it is proposed that Council staff would move to the new Civic Hub once it had been established, rather than Market Chambers. It was further noted that staff engagement and consultation would also take place before any move.
