Lincolnshire County Council’s Chief Executive, Tony McArdle, will be stepping down after over twelve years in the role.
He will hand over his formal Chief Executive responsibilities following February’s council meeting, but will continue work on some key projects while a new Chief Executive is appointed. He will then depart in the summer.
Councillor Martin Hill, Leader of Lincolnshire County Council, said: “Tony joined the council in difficult times, and has been a key part of its transformation which has resulted in Lincolnshire being a high performing, innovative council recognised at a national level.
Tony said: “It’s been a terrific experience for me throughout the time that I have been here, but the time is right for a change and I want to make that change this year.
