Two boroughs, one chief executive

Latest reports from Hammersmith and Fulham council reveal that two of Britain's best local authorities now share a single chief executive, following a joint appointment at Hammersmith & Fulham (H&F) and Kensington and Chelsea.

Derek Myers, who has been chief executive of K&C since 2000, took the helm at both councils after his appointment was ratified by H&F Council last night (Wednesday, October 19).

The move, which will save the two authorities some £200,000 a year, is the latest in a series of major senior management shares between three west London councils.
