The purpose of the report is to ask Executive to agree the recommended expressions of interest (EOI) of council services to be devolved to town or parish councils (Double Devolution) to take forward to the next stage of decision making following full business case of individual EOI.
12 expressions of interest (EOI) were received from Town and Parish councils by March 2023, and these have subsequently been evaluated. We are proposing to take 7 of these forward to business case and are seeking agreement from Executive of the 7 EOI recommended.
It is proposed that we will devolve assets and or services from April 2024.
