Brighton's Royal Pavilion has a new boss after Pauline Scott-Garrett was appointed assistant director of heritage at Brighton and Hove City Council.

She replaces Jessica Rutherford, who left in July.

The role also involves overseeing the city's libraries and museums, including the central library in Jubilee Street, which opens next year.

She joins from Medway council, where she was responsible for the regeneration of Chatham and its waterfront.

Ms Scott-Garrett has previously led the development of the award-winning theatre and gallery at Milton Keynes.

She also advises the Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment.
