Organisational Structure
The Corporate Management Board, led by the Chief Executive, oversees the day-to-day running of the council. Approximately 7500 staff are employed to deliver or commission the delivery of services within the county borough. We also work in partnership with other bodies to deliver services.
The council is undergoing a modernisation programme to improve the way local services are delivered. Part of this programme has involved changing the way the council is structured to enable services to be more responsive to the needs of the boroughs’ residents, businesses and those who visit the area.
There are four directorates – each with a Director and a small senior management team responsible for leading and managing the delivery of services:

|
Create better opportunities for services to interact more efficiently within the authority and with partner agencies – for example by bringing all services for children and young people into one directorate. |
