Interim chief quits Erewash

The interim chief executive at troubled Erewash BC quit last week, following a disagreement over money.

~Shaun Field~ who is also chief executive at Bedford BC, left the post on Monday after Erewash councillors refused to pay him £250 a day for the two days a week he spent at Erewash. He was brought in to help the council after chief executive ~John Rice~ was suspended in October. Mr Field said he was only supposed to have been at Erewash until December, and had introduced a string of reforms during the short time he was at the authority, including a balanced budget and savings of £1.4m.
