Minutes:
Councillor Brewis (SHDC) presented the report on behalf of the Partnership Scrutiny Task Group.
The Overview and Scrutiny Committee of Boston Borough Council, South Holland District Council and East Lindsey District Council commissioned a joint Scrutiny Task & Finish Panel to undertake a review of the progress on the opportunities identified in the approved business case of the South & East Lincolnshire Councils Partnership.
The report explained that the three Council’s had retained their independence but had been working towards a single officer team to deliver the Partnership Business Case for the sub-region and each Council’s respective priorities. The Partnership was projected to deliver £42million in efficiency savings over ten years; whilst providing all three Councils with greater capacity to deliver their priorities.
The Partnership’s Memorandum of Agreement required that scrutiny work was undertaken annually.
Members were assured that the progress would be addressed annually to ensure that the recommendations are regularly reviewed.
RESOLVED:
- That Cabinet note the attached Appendix A and agree the associated recommendations
