Decision details

The Interim Section 151 Officer, Jane Blundell left the meeting.

The Cabinet Member (Finance, Property and Assets), Councillor Matthew Tomlinson, presented a report of the Director of Policy and Governance (Chorley Council), that briefed Members on the outcome of a review of, and amendments to, the existing shared services for finance between South Ribble and Chorley Borough Council.

Decision made (Unanimously):

1.    Cabinet notes the consultation responses appended to the report.

2.    Cabinet notes the changes to the structure in line with the consultation responses, given that the original report was approved at full Council;

3.    Cabinet approves the final structure for the Shared Management Accountants team.

Reason(s) for the decision:

To align the two currently separate management accountancy services more closely and better support the ambition at both councils to expand shared services.

Alternative Options Considered and Rejected:

The structure in the original report was rejected and has been adjusted as part of the consultation process.
