Decision:

The Leader of the Council advised that a decision had been taken in December 2020 by the Leaders of the respective Councils to endorse, in principle, the establishment of a Joint Committee of the ASELA authorities.  However, participation by Southend Borough Council in such joint arrangements would need to be agreed by the Full Council.  The matter had been considered at the meeting of the ASELA and Local Government Reform Working Party held on 11th February 2021 and a report on the governance arrangements would come forward in due course.
