Issue - meetings

Six monthly update on Partnership performance (report of the Assistant Director – Corporate enclosed).

Consideration was given to the report of the Assistant Director – Corporate which presented a six-monthly update on Partnership performance.

The Leader of the Council presented the report which set out the progress of the South & East Lincolnshire Councils Partnership since the last update on 2 March 2023.

Members commented that although the missions relating to ‘Transport Infrastructure’ and ‘Digital Connectivity’, as stated on page 87 of the agenda, were ambitious, they also needed to be realistic. Improvements were required.  The Leader responded that should a Mayoral combined authority come to fruition, there would be access to a specific group and funding to focus on transport infrastructure. It was acknowledged that digital connectively in rural areas was an issue and this would continue to be communicated to Lincolnshire County Council.
