22.1 The Chair gave the following communication:
Today we are holding another special Place Overview & Scrutiny meeting to look at the ongoing programmes of Devolution and Local Government Reorganisation (LGR) for Sussex and Brighton. We will look at LGR first and then we will move on to Devolution. We are being asked to note the updates on both Devolution and LGR and to make any comment on the public engagement survey presenting the boundary options for LGR.
As this subject has an overlap in remit, we have invited members of both People and Health Overview & Scrutiny Committees to attend and provide input if they wish to.
We are joined today by Cllr Sankey, Leader of the Council, and Cllr Hewitt, Cabinet advisor on Devolution and Local Government Reorganisation who will be presenting today. We also have Liz Culbert, Director for Governance and Law, Rachel Kelly, Programme Director for LGR, who are on hand to help with any questions. We also have in the room, Lucie Spicer from the Policy Team and two consultants, Julian Osgathorpeand James Stainer. I’d like to welcome them all to the meeting.
