The Staff Appeals, Appointment and Remuneration Committee of Enfield Council was scheduled to hold a meeting on Thursday, 8th January 2026. The primary item on the agenda was the final stage interviews for two key director-level positions within the council.

Final Stage Interviews for Director Roles

The committee was scheduled to conduct final stage interviews for candidates applying for the positions of Director of Planning & Growth and Director of Transport, Climate & Place. The report pack indicated that documents containing information about the candidates, which would allow for scoring and note-taking, were to be made available to the committee members on the day of the meeting. These interview papers were noted to contain exempt information, specifically relating to individuals, as defined by paragraph 1 of Part 1 of Schedule 12A to the Local Government Act 1972.

The meeting was attended by Councillor Tim Leaver, who was scheduled to chair the committee, alongside Councillor Susan Erbil and Councillor Maria Alexandrou. The agenda also included standard procedural items such as welcoming attendees, declarations of interest, and consideration for the exclusion of the press and public from any Part 2 agenda items, which were anticipated to involve the disclosure of exempt information.
