The word among the proles at Calamity Hall is that chief executive Paul Smith has decided to move on. His four year stint has been marked with a few ups and downs but he has seldom shifted from a consensual approach, often trading on a Mr Nice Guy image – at least compared to the total bastard he succeeded. The pity is that his efforts have been all too often frustrated by entrenched self-interests which continue to dominate the playground political process inside the council.
With a ruling clique more interested in wheeling & dealing to keep itself in power rather than work in the city’s interest and an opposition who still think and act like an administration-in-exile, it’s no wonder that he’s off.

I hear that ABM health board will soon have a vacancy at the top as well. Will PS be moving into that role, one wonders.
