To report the latest position on Local Government Reorganisation in accordance with the requirement of Government to submit a final business case for local government reorganisation in Nottinghamshire.

Members received a report the latest position on Local Government Reorganisation in accordance with the requirement of Government to submit a final business case for local government reorganisation in Nottinghamshire. A number of queries were raised which included dismay at proposals to join with Nottinghamshire City Council, the lack of needs-based assessments within the proposals and disagreement with any statements that suggested the reorganisation would save money. The recommendation was widened to include substitutes for the sub group should the group leaders be unable to attend.

RESOLVED to create a sub group of all group leaders, or their nominated representatives, to discuss and develop any proposals relating to public engagement should that become necessary in between ordinary scheduled Cabinet meetings.

Reason

This is in accordance with the requirement of Government to submit a final business case for local government reorganisation in Nottinghamshire.
