An interim chief executive is in place at Suffolk County Council after former boss Andrea Hill resigned.

Lucy Robinson, who has been the council's director for economy, skills and environment since 2002, has taken up the post initially for six months.

Ms Robinson was appointed on a salary of £150,000 pro rata.

Andrea Hill, 47, who was appointed in 2008, stepped down as chief executive on 4 July after coming under fire over her £218,000 salary.
