Cabinet Member’s Comments

 

I consider that the proposals will contribute to Oxfordshire’s readiness for the significant changes currently going through Parliament to the way in which functions are delivered at the regional and sub-regional level. 

 

Decision

 

Having regard to the arguments and options set out in the documentation before me I confirm my decisions on this matter as follows:  to:

 

(a)               note the recent and ongoing changes to the regional landscape that have been brought about by the Government’s Review of Sub-National Economic Development and Regeneration; and

 

(b)               approve the proposal for Oxfordshire County Council to give notice to withdraw from membership of the Association of Councils of the Thames Valley Region (ACTVaR) from 31 March 2010 (12 month’s notice is required).
