As detailed in the recommendation.

The Cabinet Member for Corporate Management introduced a report to seek endorsement of the ongoing work of the Flintshire Local Service Board (LSB).  He advised that working alongside the LSB were eight key Strategic Partnerships.  He gave an overview of the key considerations detailed in the report and commented specifically on the Effective Services for Vulnerable People (ESVP) programme and the Carbon Reduction and Adaptation Planning project. 

The Chief Executive commented on the remit of the LSB and some of the specific work being undertaken with partnerships to make the best use of resources.  Given the anticipated implications of Welfare Reform the Chief Executive made reference to the work being undertaken on maximising opportunity and preventing and reducing poverty and disadvantage in Flintshire.      

The Chief Executive drew Members’ attention to the first LSB Conference which was scheduled to be held on 21 November 2012.  He explained that the purpose of the conference was to show Flintshire’s commitment and celebrate the successes of partnership working.  

RESOLVED:

That Cabinet support the ongoing work of the Local Service Board as outlined in this report.
