Bradford Council's chief executive has announced she is going to retire.
Kersten England, who has been chief executive of Bradford Council for eight years, previously held the role at City of York CouncilKersten England, who joined the local authority in 2015 and will step down in June, said she would "never stop being a champion and advocate for Bradford".
In an email to colleagues, she highlighted UK City of Culture 2025, devolution and healthcare improvements as key achievements during her tenure.She said: "It's been a privilege to work with so many brilliant people in the district who are so dedicated to its success.She mentioned upcoming priorities as the local elections in May, preparations for the city's year of culture, setting the authority's latest budget and launching a trust being set up to run children's services.
The decision to establish a trust followed a review that concluded the council "lacked the capacity and capability to improve [children's] services at pace on its own". In her email announcing her departure, she said "delivering sustained improvement in children's social care has been tough", but the trust would "provide a strong basis for our dedicated team to continue to improve services".
