Wide Range of Options for Council Services

At item 5 of the City Council's Education Committee there is a report on proposals for the council to join a Limited Liability Partnership to deliver the Seemis programme for the education department. This proposal was agreed and this sort of partnership between a variety of councils seems to be something that we will see a lot more of in the future. As a Labour and Co-operative Councillor I asked whether the council will look at a whole range of service delivery vehicles, such as co-operatives, mutuals, trusts, joint committees as well as Limited Liability Partnerships. I was pleased that the Chief Executive agreed that this variety of service delivery vehicles would be considered.
