Town Centre manager required

Another of the questions at the Council meeting last week was about the search for a new town centre manager for Eltham. The leader of the Tory Group, Cllr Spencer Drury asked what progress the Council had made in filling the position.

The short answer is, not very much. Basically, the Council said that they've now drawn up the job specifcation for the position and would be recruiting to fill the post in September. That's five months from knowing there was a position to fill to actually getting someone in it.

We're not quite sure why it should take so long. We're also a little worried that they've spent the last two months drawing up a job specification, surely HR should have something like that on file?
