Much is said in the media and government circles about high salaries and incompetence in local government. On the flip side of this debate are thousands of people giving their lives to improve the well being of others. Local Government at its best.
In recent weeks Greenwich has lost three of its most experienced Senior officers. Pictured above with me are, from left to right, Tony Evans, Harcourt Alleyne and Leon Yohai . Together in their respective areas of skills they have shaped the structure of the Council making it more responsive to the needs of our community and delivering quality services. They have provided inspiring leadership and will be missed
The role of Councillors providing community leadership in achieving its objectives requires quality officer leadership. This approach has worked well in the Borough. I wish them well for the future.
