The local authority was due to hold an extraordinary meeting tomorrow (31st March).

But the council has now confirmed that the session has now been cancelled.

A spokesperson for Lichfield District Council said:

> “Following our appointments and staffing committee on 25th March, we are not yet in a position to confirm the appointment of our next chief executive as planned.  
>  
> “As a result we have cancelled our extraordinary council meeting convened solely for this purpose on 31st March and hope to make a full report to Full Council at the scheduled meeting on 20th April.”  
>  
> Lichfield District Council spokesperson

The chief executive post is currently held by Diane Tilley, but she has confirmed she will be standing down from the role in May.
