Partnership working with Adur and Worthing
Welcome to the Adur and Worthing partnership page.
In September 2006 the two councils decided to find out if it was a good idea to provide more services together and to create a single officer structure. A project team set out to prepare a business case. By the end of January a draft business was ready to be consulted on with staff. Consultants also looked into the business case and they made their comments and recommendations at the end of February.
In March 2007 both councils met and the decision was taken to look into some issues raised in the business case in more detail. On this page you will find links to all the information on the work that has and is taking place.
Members
of both councils will meet in July of 2007 to consider the business case
in detail and the results of the further work now being undertaken around
governance, finances etc and make their final decision as to whether to go
ahead or not.
At the end of last year the department of Communities and Local Government (formally the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister) issued a report on the future of local government :
