Liverpool finance chief announces departure

Becky Helland is to step down from her role as Liverpool City Council’s finance director on 11 March, according to reports. The Liverpool Echo said that the announcement was made to councillors in an email from assistant chief executive Catherine Garnell. Hellard joined the council in 2012 and will be replaced by Peter Casterton, according to the report.
