Decision details

South East Lincolnshire Council Partnership Growth and Prosperity Plan

Decision Maker: Cabinet

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: Yes

Purpose:

To support the Growth and Prosperity Plan for the South and East Lincolnshire Councils Partnership.

Decision:

1)    That the Growth and Prosperity Plan at Appendix A be approved and supported, and that the Plan be adopted subject to any final consultation feedback as agreed with the relevant portfolio holders; and

 

2)    That the Growth and Prosperity Plan becomes a line of inquiry in the Partnership’s Annual Scrutiny, complementing the sub-regional strategy process.

Reasons for the decision:

The Growth and Prosperity Plan will reflect the vision and priorities of the 24/25 – 28/29 Sub-Regional Strategy and align strategic priorities across the Councils to further support the benefits of collaborative working. A single Growth and Prosperity Plan for the Partnership will demonstrate to external partners our alignment and collective focus on a prosperous, productive and creative economy. This will be particularly helpful when engaging with partners and businesses, Government and funders, and leveraging further investment into the sub-region

Alternative options considered:

Do nothing.  It has already been agreed by Councillors, through the priorities of the sub-regional strategy, that a Growth and Prosperity Plan should be developed.  Therefore, this option was not recommended.
