A housing chief at a Labour-run council which moved senior staff into prime low-rent homes after asking elderly tenants to leave has been a sacked, the authority said.
Kristine Reeves, the £52,000-a-year head of neighbourhood and strategic housing at Norwich City Council, was fired following a disciplinary hearing.
She was dismissed with immediate effect for gross misconduct after tenants were evicted from the post-war sheltered housing development in 2007.
The site was earmarked for demolition to make way for the creation of new homes.
But the properties were then advertised for let in a council staff newsletter. Ms Reeves and her partner were among a number of employees at the authority who moved in.
News of the affair emerged in December following an investigation by journalists.
A council spokesman said Ms Reeves had breached policies and failed to declare a conflict of interest.
"As a consequence of these actions she has brought the council into severe disrepute," said the spokesman.
