RESOLVED that: -
(a) Approval be given for the proposed FCERM service structure; and
(b) Support be given to the principle of a ‘Centre of Excellence’ approach and taking up requests to support neighbouring authorities and FCERM delivery bodies for the South West region.
Voting: Unanimous
Portfolio Holder: Environment, Cleansing and Waste
Reason
To allow formation of an independent FCERM service in BCP Council, no longer recognising a single line management structure across BCP and Dorset Councils, but facilitating a collaborative working arrangement.
To enable decisions to be made to take on additional external income related work for regional authorities and the Environment Agency.
