The Local Government International Bureau has appointed Camden LBC chief executive Jeremy Smith as its director. He replaces Paul Bongers, who is retiring.
He wants to break down the language barrier between Brussels and local government: 'Perhaps less arcane language would help.'
Mr Smith qualified as a barrister in 1969, and joined local government in 1983. 'I've always had an interest in international affairs. After six tough years at Camden this was a good opportunity,' he said.
