The appointments come after Nigel Brinn, the former Executive Director for Economy and Environment, resigned from his position following his appointment as Chief Executive of the Forest of Dean District Council.

Matt Perry will be responsible for overseeing both the Highways Transport and Recycling and the Property, Planning and Public Protection service areas.

Diane Reynolds, on the other hand, will be tasked with managing Economic Development and Community Services. This includes overseeing the Community Services team, which includes Leisure, Library, Culture, Catering, and Cleaning. Additionally, Diane will lead various key regional working projects such as the Corporate Joint Committee, the Regional Skills Partnership, Growing Mid Wales, and the Marches Forward Partnership.

Interim Chief Executive Jack Straw has congratulated both Perry and Reynolds on their appointments and welcomed their addition to the Executive Team. He expressed excitement about working with them in their new roles, stating,

"Matt and Diane bring a wealth of experience to the team and have clearly demonstrated their passion for both their service areas and for wider public service. We have a number of considerable challenges ahead of us as a Local Authority, and I am sure that Diane and Matt will play a key role in addressing them."

The authority plans to conduct a comprehensive review of its senior managerial arrangements once a permanent Chief Executive Officer is appointed.
