Item: Local Government Re-organisation - Interim Plan Proposals for Worcestershire - Bromsgrove
Recorded vote on an amendment to the resolutions proposed by Councillor Hotham:
Amendment status:
Rejected
A recorded vote was taken on the following amendment to the resolutions proposed by Councillor C. Hotham (with the named voted being requested by Councillor H. Rone-Clarke):
“Council notes that:-
Whilst the Council has had late sight of the PWC report commissioned by Worcestershire County Council, it has not had sight of the underlying assumptions upon which it is based. It is not therefore possible at this stage to identify the most favourable option for Bromsgrove District Council. This is contrary to the Minister’s request in his letter of the 5th February that Councils work collaboratively.
Council therefore resolves that:-
Based on the information currently available, the Council’s preferred option at this stage would be for a North Worcestershire Unitary Council and a South Worcestershire Unitary Council.
In light of the Government’s requirement for a collaborative approach the Council will endorse the Interim Plan as set out in Appendix 5.”
