  • Darren Jones has resigned as development director with Stoke-on-Trent Council after being appointed assistant executive director for strategic projects and investment at Oldham Council. He will take up the new post at the end of next month. The news follows the departure of Stoke Council’s regeneration director Tom Macartney, also managing director of North Staffordshire Regeneration Partnership (NSRP), who announced earlier this month that he will leave both positions in September. The NSRP is to be scrapped to make way for a local enterprise partnership.
  • Chair of the Big Lottery Fund, Sir Clive Booth, is to step down after seven years in the role. Mr Booth intends to leave the position when his current term of office ends on 30 November.
  • Chorley Community Housing has elected a new chair and appointed a new tenant board member. Paul Joyce, a board member for three years, replaces Ann James as chair, who stepped down earlier this year due to ill health. Beverley Figaji, a Chorley Moor estate tenant, has been appointed to the board.
  • Senscot Legal Services (SLS) has appointed Alan Dunipace as its lead solicitor. SLS has been set up to provide Scotland`s social enterprise community and wider third sector with accessible and affordable legal services. Mr Dunipace operates from new premises in Glasgow.
