Non-Key Decision

Councillor Jason Zadrozny – Leader of the Council

Cabinet Members were provided with an overview of the developing East Midlands Combined County Authority (EMCCA).

As the report was presented for information only, there were no alternative options for Members to consider.

RESOLVED

that the following be received and noted:

a)    progress regarding the establishment of the EMCCA;

b)    the EMCCA governance arrangements, investment plans and priority focus;

c)    the potential impacts for Ashfield as aligned to the Corporate Plan.

Reason:

To ensure that Cabinet are kept informed of the development of the EMCCA and its proposed focus.

(Prior to speaking on this item, Councillor Matthew Relf declared a Non-Registrable interest regarding this matter.  His interest arose from the fact that he has indicated his intention to stand as a candidate in the EMCCA Mayoral Election taking place in May 2024.  His interest was such that he stayed in the room and took part in the ensuing discussion.)
