The Employees Committee (Appointments) of Leicestershire Council met on Monday 28 April 2025, to conduct interviews for the position of Director of Tourism, Culture and Economy. The agenda also included standard items such as apologies for absence and declarations of interest.

Director of Tourism, Culture and Economy Appointment

The main item on the agenda was to conduct interviews for the position of Director of Tourism, Culture and Economy. According to the report pack, further information, including a full timetable for the session, was to be circulated to committee members prior to the meeting.

The report pack indicated that the interviews would be held in a private session, excluding the press and public, because it involved information relating to an individual. This falls under Paragraph 1 of Part 1 of Schedule 12A of the Local Government Act 1972, as amended, and the council determined that:

the public interest in maintaining the information as exempt outweighs the public interest in disclosing the information.

Standard Agenda Items

The meeting's agenda also included:

• Appointment of Chair
• Apologies for Absence
• Declarations of Interest
• Any Other Urgent Business
