Cambridgeshire County Council has promoted Stephen Moir, formerly director of people and policy, to the newly created role of corporate director - people, policy and law following a restructure of the council's management arrangements.

Reporting to chief executive, Mark Lloyd, and a member of the council's strategic management team, Moir assumes additional responsibilities for the council's legal services, democratic and member services, health and safety and scrutiny functions, in addition to directing the work of the HR, organisational development, corporate policy and strategy, strategic partnerships, payroll and pension services.
