The Appointments Sub Committee of Hackney Council is scheduled to convene on Monday 16 November 2026. The meeting's agenda indicates that the committee will consider appointments to key executive director roles. It is also noted that parts of the meeting will be held in private to discuss exempt information.

Appointments to Executive Director Roles

The primary focus of the meeting, as outlined in the agenda, is the consideration of appointments for two significant positions: the Interim Executive Director of Housing and the Interim Executive Director for Environment, Climate & Economy. These discussions are scheduled to take place in a private session, with the agenda noting that it is likely, in view of the nature of the business to be transacted, that were members of the public to be present, there would be a disclosure of exempt business as defined in Paragraph 1 of Part 1 of schedule 12A of the Local Government Act 1972, as amended.¹ This suggests that sensitive information related to the appointments will be reviewed.

Public Questions

The agenda also includes a slot for questions from the public. Individuals who live, work, or study in the Borough of Hackney will have the opportunity to ask questions of the Committee. A supplementary question relating to an agenda item is also permitted. Questions are to be submitted in advance to governance@hackney.gov.uk. The Chair has the discretion to allow questions to be asked without prior notice, though a full answer may not be possible at the meeting, with a written response to be provided subsequently.

Previous Meeting Minutes

The committee is also scheduled to review the minutes from its previous meeting held on 9 November 2026. Both unrestricted and restricted minutes are listed on the agenda. The restricted minutes will be considered in the private session of the meeting.
