Council Statement

A Tameside Council Spokesperson said: “As a Council, we are going through a period of change, but we have all the statutory officers required to ensure delivery of services for our residents. This includes an Acting Chief Executive. We remain absolutely focused on improving our Children’s Services and recently appointed an Interim Director of Children’s Services.

 “Here in Greater Manchester, we have a system of mutual aid to ensure councils support each other in times of transition. The Greater Manchester Combined Authority is working with us to put in place robust interim arrangements as we progress to the permanent recruitment of the Chief Executive of the Council. We will provide further updates on any progress at the appropriate time.”
