Decision - Update on Greater Brighton Devolution Bid

1)            The Board is asked to approve the Proposition document, which is attached as Appendix 1.

2)            The Board is asked to permit the Officer Board to recommence negotiations with Government.

3)            The Board is asked to delegate authority to the Officer Board to ‘buy-in’ a variety of specialist support, to both continue to build the evidence base for the City Region’s Proposition and to progress priority pieces of work as outlined in section 3.12 of this report.  This will initially be funded from within the Board’s existing budget but further requests for funding may be made in the future if required.
