Ms. Ridgwell arrived in Lancashire in January 2018 as part of what was, at the time, a politically controversial restructure of the senior management at County Hall. The changes made by the Conservative administration saw the chief executive post combined with that of the director of resources.
“Angie has worked positively with myself, cabinet colleagues and our partners across the county. She has steered the organisation through the challenges of Covid-19, helped ensure the authority is in a strong financial position and implemented innovative changes to the way we deliver our services to make a real difference to residents and businesses.
Wishing her all the best in her new job, County Cllr Tomlinson also turned his attention to the process of finding her replacement, which is now set to get underway. In a statement, she paid her own tribute to the “many talented people” she had worked with in the county who have “the interests of Lancashire’s residents and businesses firmly at heart”.
“Whoever replaces me will have the pleasure of working with some of the most committed and passionate people I have ever met.”
