Decision details

*RESOLVED –

1.   That the refreshed partnership agreement be endorsed and the Joint Cabinet and Employment and General Committee approve that the partnership agreement can be signed on behalf of the Council.

2.   That an additional £45k be made available to enable 1.6 FTE posts to be backfilled in Housing Services, offsetting the increase in Trade Union facility time which is built into the refreshed partnership agreement.

REASON FOR DECISIONS

The refreshed agreement enables effective partnership working with Trade Unions during a period of intensive change whilst also balancing the need to maintain service delivery to our residents, businesses, and visitors.
