The Appointments Panel of Kensington and Chelsea Council met on Monday 13 July 2026. The primary item scheduled for discussion was an interview for the Executive Director of Finance & Assurance. The meeting was also scheduled to consider excluding the press and public for this item due to the sensitive nature of the information involved.

Interview for Executive Director of Finance & Assurance

The meeting's agenda indicated that an interview was scheduled for the position of Executive Director of Finance & Assurance. There were no papers made public for this specific item. However, the panel was asked to agree to exclude the press and public from this agenda item. This exclusion was considered necessary because the report was likely to contain information relating to an individual, and the public interest in maintaining confidentiality outweighed the public interest in disclosure. This aligns with the provisions of the Local Government Act 1972, specifically Schedule 12A, concerning exempt information.

The meeting was scheduled to take place in Committee Room 5 at the Town Hall, Hornton Street, W8 7NX. The Chief Executive of the council is Maxine Holdsworth. The panel members present were Cllr Tom Bennett, Cllr Elizabeth Campbell, and Cllr Emma Will. Cllr Peter Marshall was listed as an attendee in the provided information, though not as a member of the Appointments Panel itself.
