Croydon Council's Appointments & Disciplinary Committee met on Tuesday, March 24, 2026, to interview candidates for the crucial role of Director of Streets and Environment. The interviews were conducted in a closed session, with press and public excluded, as per council procedures for such appointments.
The committee also approved the Part A minutes from their previous meeting on March 11, 2026. These minutes covered several key items, including apologies for absence, disclosure of interests, and the minutes of the prior meeting held on January 27, 2026. Notably, the March 11 meeting also addressed urgent business items and included the agreement of salary packages and selection processes for two director-level appointments: Director of Culture & Community Safety and the Director of Streets and Environment. A discussion on CHIEF OFFICER HAY GRADE JOB EVALUATION was deferred to a later item due to its Part B report.
The salary for the Director of Streets and Environment position was confirmed to be at Grade 3, with a range of £129,900 to £135,064. This reflects a 3.2% national pay award that took effect from April 1, 2025. The role had been temporarily filled by Mark Baignant.
Executive Mayor Jason Perry chaired the March 24 meeting. The committee also confirmed that their entries on the Council's register of interests were up to date.
