ALACE responds to 2026 pay offer for chief executives
The Association of Local Authority Chief Executives and Senior Managers (ALACE) has welcomed the pay offer for local government chief executives in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Tracey Lee, chair of ALACE, said “We are pleased that an offer has been made for all chief executives covered by the JNC. While we are not in a position to accept the offer at this stage, we welcome its parity with the offer made to other staff groups. We also welcome the continued recognition by employers’ of the critical role that chief executives and senior officers provide to their communities.
ALACE will not be in a position to formally accept the offer until the settlement for the NJC has been confirmed.
