Camden Council’s chief executive is stepping down
After eight years leading the Camden ship council chief executive Moira Gibb CBE has announced she is stepping down from the role at the end of the year.
She said: “I have thoroughly enjoyed my time with Camden Council, but feel that after eight years it is time to seek new challenges.
“Camden is a fantastically interesting place with many challenges but huge assets. While I recognise that our residents see our flaws as well as our achievements, it has been great to see our residents’ satisfaction with the council rising year on year.
“A particular high spot was the Audit Commission’s Corporate Assessment in December 2007 which gave Camden the maximum possible rating – ‘the best local authority in the country’.
“I have been privileged to lead an amazing group of talented people.”
