Issue - meetings

The Board was provided with a briefing note which gave background information and a progress update on the recently merged North Worcestershire Community Safety Partnership, including the purpose of the partnership, its structure, financial arrangements, local delivery and representation.  The Chair of the Partnership, the Executive Director, Leisure, Environmental and Community Services explained that the Partnership was currently operating under shadow arrangements whilst a formal application to merge was being prepared for submission to the Home Office.  The Partnership had however, agreed its draft terms of reference and it was anticipated these would be formally approved at its next meeting.

The Chairman of the Board requested further updates on progress made to formally establish the new Partnership when available.

RESOLVED that the report be noted and the Board receive a further update in due course.
