The Chief Executive submitted a report to enable the Leader of the Council to advise full Council of her decision on Chesterfield Borough Council’s future membership of Derby Derbyshire Nottingham Nottinghamshire (D2N2) Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP) or Sheffield City Region (SCR) LEP and of the reasons behind the decision.

RESOLVED –

That the Leader’s decision for the Council to remain a member of D2N2 LEP, to relinquish its membership of SCR LEP with effect from 1 April, 2020 and to remain a non-constituent member of SCR Mayoral Combined Authority (MCA) be noted.
