The Recruitment Panel of Derbyshire Council is scheduled to meet on Monday, 8 December 2025, to appoint a chair and conduct interviews for the position of Interim Chief Executive. The meeting will be held at Committee Room 3, County Hall, Matlock.

Interim Chief Executive Appointment

The primary purpose of the meeting, according to the agenda, is to conduct interviews for the post of Interim Chief Executive. This discussion is listed under Part II of the agenda, which is designated as exempt. The reason given for excluding the public is that the discussion may involve the disclosure of exempt information as defined in Paragraphs 1 and 3 of Part 1 of Schedule 12A of the Local Government Act 1972¹. The agenda states that:

...if members of the public were present exempt information as defined in Paragraphs 1 and 3 of Part 1 of Schedule 12A of the Local Government Act 1972 would be disclosed to them and the public interest in maintaining the exemption outweighs the public interest in disclosing the information.

Other Business

The meeting will also cover procedural items at the start of the meeting, including:

• The appointment of a Chairman of the Panel.
• Receiving apologies for absence.
• Receiving declarations of interest.
