Report of Councillor K Gillott, Portfolio Holder for Local Government Reorganisation.

That Cabinet:

1.     Noted the statutory consultation process for Local Government Reorganisation in Derbyshire.

2.     Agreed the proposed responses to the Government’s statutory consultation questions set out in section 6 of this report, including explicit support for Option A1 within the One Derbyshire, Two Councils proposals and use the wording in the report to inform the response to all Derbyshire consultation questions.

3.     Delegated any minor changes to the final response, for all Derbyshire consultation questions, to the Chief Executive, in consultation with the Portfolio Holder.

This was not a Key Decision and so can be implemented with immediate effect by officers.
