Minutes:
The report was presented by the Cabinet Member Development and Safety.
The council entered into shared service partnership with Tewkesbury in November 2009 for an initial period of 10 years, which was due to expire next month. The report analyses this partnership based on fulfilment of key principles and recommends a further 10 year continuation. He acknowledged that recent scandals regarding approved inspectors meant that vigilance was required. He highlighted the greater emphasis on commercialisation in the report.
