The Shared Service Lead - Communications and Visitor Economy, Andrew Daniels, confirmed that the intention was for the events team to be comprised of 4 full time members of staff.

2. To approve the action plan included in Appendix 1 to the report.
Reasons for decision
The principle of creating a shared events team has already been agreed and this report brought forward a proposal to complete that action as part of the shared services phase one service reviews.
Alternative options considered and rejected
The alternative option was not to share the events team but this was rejected due to the intention to establish an events team at South Ribble and the benefits the extra resilience would bring to the already established team at Chorley.
