Scarborough Borough Council Appoints Interim Chief Executive

Tuesday, 11 October 2022 15:28

By Matthew Pells

Nick Edwards – the council’s current deputy chief executive – has been appointed to the post of interim chief executive.

He will take over when current CEO, Mike Greene, leaves the authority in early November.

Mr Edwards' appointment was confirmed by a cross-party group of councillors at a meeting on 10 October.

Mr Edwards will be in charge for the final few months of the borough council which is being abolished at the end of March next year.

As well as being deputy chief executive, Mr Edwards is the council’s statutory section 151 officer and has responsibility for its stable financial management.

Nick Edwards, interim chief executive to be, said:

“It will be a great privilege and honour to represent my home borough as its last council chief executive.

“There are exciting - and challenging - times ahead as we prepare for the transfer of powers to the new North Yorkshire Council in just five months.

“During this time I will ensure we continue to provide the excellent services in our local communities that we know residents value and appreciate.

“I also want to forge ahead with our ambitious investment programme to regenerate our borough.

“I owe a great deal of gratitude to my colleagues.

“With significant changes and uncertainties on the horizon, I will represent their best interests to the new unitary council, along with the needs and views of residents and businesses."
