Deborah Cadman, the Chief Executive of Birmingham City Council, has announced her resignation, effective later this month, following the council's declaration of effective bankruptcy and the implementation of emergency measures to raise revenue. This decision comes just two weeks after the council announced a £300m cuts package and a 21% tax hike. Despite Cadman's departure, the leader of Birmingham City Council has stated that he will not be leaving his position. Prior to her resignation, Cadman was facing an official complaint for allegedly misleading councillors.
