Issue - meetings

This decision was taken as an item of urgent business to enable Cabinet to make a recommendation to Full council and establish the council's position as soon as possible in order to proactively engage with other Lancashire Councils and government.

Cabinet received a report setting out the current position on devolution, combined authorities and options for future joint working with the other Lancashire local authorities, in order to identify a preferred option for consideration by Full Council.

Resolved: That

  i.  the principle of a Combined Authority and Elected Mayor for Lancashire be supported

  ii.  Full Council be asked to support this option.
