Decision details

The Community Services Portfolio Holder presented the report to Members.

She advised Members that after the last meeting the Authority wrote to Leicestershire County Council seeking clarity on the proposals and the timeline for the process, and how they intended to consult on the proposed arrangements with the District and Borough Council Partners. She informed Members that the response that had been received was a generic one and did not answer the questions asked, and that since the publication of the agenda a further letter had been received requesting information by 19 September, which had not been possible to do. She asked Members to agree that a further letter be sent to request the clarification that had been requested previously.

It was moved by Councillor A V Smith, seconded by Councillor T Gillard and
