Camden Council Chief Executive Moira Gibb said: “Rachel brings with her a wealth of experience to Camden. This is a very important role within the Council and Rachel has an excellent balance of skills and knowledge to really take the directorate forward and meet the future challenges.”

Ms Stopard, who will take up the position in September, said: “I'm thrilled to take on this position at Camden. Not only is it a council with a strong track record and excellent reputation, but this must be one of the most exciting jobs in local government. I'm looking forward to joining the team and leading on services that make a difference now and for the future, not only to the day to day lives of residents but also to the thousands of people visiting Camden every day."
