Chief executive of South Holland District Council Terry Huggins has announced his departure.
Councillors received an email yesterday afternoon from Mr Huggins, who is credited by some for making a success of South Holland’s joint management with Breckland District Council, saying he will be stepping down at the end of January
He said: “This has been a most difficult decision to make, it’s a decision made for personal reasons and not influenced by external factors.”
He went on to pay tribute to two councils.
