The Head of Law and Governance has submitted a report to propose amendments to the Terms of Reference and Memorandum of Understanding of the Future Oxfordshire Partnership.

Cabinet is recommended to:

1.      Approve the Future Oxfordshire Partnership’s revised Terms of Reference and Memorandum of Understanding.  These will take effect following approval by each of the six Oxfordshire councils.

The Head of Law and Governance had submitted a report to propose amendments to the Terms of Reference and Memorandum of Understanding of the Future Oxfordshire Partnership.

Councillor Susan Brown, Leader and Cabinet Member for Inclusive Economy and Partnerships reported that the documents had been refreshed because the Oxfordshire Housing and Growth Deal (which was the period for which the body had been set up) was now entering its final phase.  There was therefore a need for the Partnership to be re-constituted.  The new Terms of Reference set out a way of working which continued to bring the councils in Oxfordshire together with the aim of working co-operatively on matters such as delivering housing, delivering infrastructure, and maximising investment from government to support these aims. 

Cabinet resolved to:

1.      Approve the Future Oxfordshire Partnership’s revised Terms of Reference and Memorandum of Understanding.  These will take effect following approval by each of the six Oxfordshire councils.
