Mark Rogers has highlighted the importance of council officers and politicians ‘knowing their lanes' a day after it was announced he was leaving Hull and East Yorkshire Combined Authority.
Speaking at The MJ's Future Forum Midlands in Stratford-upon-Avon, Rogers – who will leave his role as interim chief executive at the authority when his contract ends later this month – reflected on his leadership experience, including at Birmingham City Council, and emphasised that officers were not there to fix political issues.
