County council admits chief executive has left council by 'mutual consent'

West Sussex County Council has finally admitted its former chief executive has left his post but has refused to give any further details. In September, the council announced that Nathan Elvery, whose salary was £190,000 per year, was ‘currently away from his duties’. It was a line it stuck to over the following months. Now, while finally ackowledging what everyone knew, the council has cited confidentiality and stayed tight-lipped over the ins and outs of the situation. A spokesman said: "The chief executive Nathan Elvery has now left West Sussex County Council by mutual consent. "Lee Harris continues in his role as acting chief executive. "We are not able to say anything further as it is confidential." (By Karen Dunn - Local Democracy Reporter)
