Ex-KCC boss Jane Clarke settles unfair dismissal case

The former head of communications at Kent County Council has
settled an unfair dismissal case with the authority.
Jane Clarke had been taking the authority to an employment
tribunal. The case was to have been heard later this month.
But the county council said the two sides had now reached a
settlement and the case would not be going ahead.
Ms Clarke, pictured left, left the council as part of a
re-organisation of the authority’s senior directors last
year.
She worked for the council between 2008 and 2011, joining
the authority from a similar role at Sport England.
In a statement, Kent County Council said: "The parties
reached an agreement following which the claim was
withdrawn."
Ms Clarke, who earned £86,600 in 2010-11 according to the
authority’s accounts, declined to comment.
The terms of the settlement have not been
disclosed.
KCC has since appointed Matt Burrows as its head of
communications on a salary of £87,700. He joined KCC last year from
Croydon council.
