The Appointments Committee of East Riding of Yorkshire Council met on Friday 25 September 2026. The committee resolved to invite shortlisted candidates for interview for the position of Director of People Services. The public and press were excluded from this part of the meeting due to the likely disclosure of exempt information.

Appointment of Director of People Services

The committee resolved that the shortlisted candidates for the role of Director of People Services should be invited for interview. This decision was made during a part of the meeting from which the press and public were excluded, as it involved the likely disclosure of exempt information under the Local Government Act 1972. The committee determined that the public interest in maintaining the exemption outweighed the public interest in disclosing the information.

The meeting was attended by Councillors Handley, Bibb, Healy, and Owen. No declarations of interest were made by the councillors present.
