Report of the Chief Executive

Presented by the Leader

The Leader presented the report to Members. He advised Members that they were now awaiting the draft order from the Secretary of State and that the new Prime Minister seemed even more committed to devolving powers to Local Authorities. He informed Members that a report would be taken to Council on 13 September requesting approval of the Constitution and that both he and leader of the Labour group would be kept updated by the Chief Executive on the progress of the Constitution.

It was moved by Councillor R Blunt, seconded by Councillor T Gillard and

RESOLVED THAT:

The update be noted and the approach of the Chief Executive be endorsed.

Reason for decision: To inform Cabinet of the development which has been made in respect of the creation of the Leicester and Leicestershire Combined Authority and the progress of the Leicestershire Devolution Deal to date.
