Answer

Decisions concerning the management structures for Local Government are the responsibility of the elected members and officers of the new councils.

In making decisions and recruiting to those management structures, the new councils must comply with the Local Government Reform Joint Forum circular LGRJF/08 which gives effect to the provisions of the Guiding Principles and Associated Recommendations as recommended by the Public Service Commission and accepted by the NI Executive in relation to the procedure for filling posts in the new council structures.
