O’Donnell to step down from Camden

Mike O’Donnell is to step down from his role as finance director after 12 years at London Borough of Camden. O’Donnell made the announcement that he will end his tenure at the council in a letter to councillors. O’Donnell has spent the past nine months covering the chief finance officer role at Birmingham City Council. He now plans to develop a portfolio of different roles, which could include working on some Camden projects.

The local government financial crisis has not been caused by a lack of funding: that’s just a symptom of the inherent conflict of having independent local authorities within a highly centralised state, argues Conrad Hall.
