Carolyn Williamson, the County Council’s current Deputy Chief Executive and Director of Corporate Resources was recommended to the post earlier this month by the Member Appointment Panel, following national competition for the role. e nal decision on her appointment was made at the Extraordinary Meeting of the County Council.

Leader of Hampshire County Council, Councillor Keith Mans, said: “We are delighted that Carolyn Williamson will begin in her new role from 19th July. She brings to the position a wealth of expertise, professional knowledge, and high-calibre leadership ability to support our work in addressing the ongoing challenges faced by public services, our journey of transformation, and navigation out of COVID-19 - towards economic recovery. We offer our sincere thanks and appreciation to our retiring Chief Executive, John Coughlan, for his dedication and commitment to the people of Hampshire, who rightly expect the continued delivery of high-quality services. In Carolyn’s appointment, John passes the mantle of leadership of the Paid Service to a strong and visionary successor.” Carolyn Williamson Nearly £1million in grants available Hampshire County Council’s Executive Member for Adult Services and Public Health, Councillor Liz Fairhurst, has approved funding for innovative local projects across the county which aim to support people - specifically anyone deemed to be clinically vulnerable or clinically extremely vulnerable, to recover from the past year and focus on the future. Councillor Fairhurst said: “The pandemic has had a major impact on many aspects of our lives, but for some, getting going again and back to a semblance of normality is proving very difficult. This grants programme is designed to assist local organisations – be they community groups or local councils – in their work to support vulnerable people, to help them recover from the impacts of the pandemic and return to more normal ways of life, in a way that is safe.” e Getting Going Again Fund of £950,000 is divided into 11 lots, aligned to the county’s 11 district and borough councils, with the amount of money available dependent on the number of clinically extremely vulnerable residents living in each area. To help fund this particular set of grants, Hampshire County Council will use a proportion of the wider £4million funding from Government to support people in Hampshire who are clinically extremely vulnerable or clinically vulnerable.
