Croydon Council is set to appoint a new Director of Planning and Sustainable Regeneration following interviews held by the Appointments & Disciplinary Committee on Monday, 20 October 2025. The committee convened to interview shortlisted candidates for the role, demonstrating the council's continued focus on planning and sustainable regeneration within the borough.
The agenda for the meeting, chaired by Mayor Jason Perry, included an exclusion of the press and public during the interview process. This was done in accordance with Section 100A(4) of the Local Government Act 1972, due to the likely disclosure of exempt information as defined in the Act.
Attendees at the meeting included Councillor Lynne Hale (Statutory Deputy Mayor and Cabinet Member for Homes), Councillor Jason Cummings (Cabinet Member for Finance), Councillor Stuart King (Leader of the Opposition), Councillor Enid Mollyneaux (Shadow Cabinet Member for Community Safety), Councillor Callton Young OBE (Deputy Leader of the Opposition and Shadow Cabinet Member for Finance), Katherine Kerswell, Elaine Jackson, Stephen Lawrence-Orumwense, Adrian May, and Michelle Ossei-Gerning.
