As detailed in the recommendations.

The Cabinet Member for Public Protection, Waste and Recycling provided an update on the joint working arrangements between the Council and Wrexham County Borough Council.

Flintshire County Council and Wrexham County Borough Council were undertaking collaborative work where mutual benefits were considered to be achievable.  There was potential for some joint working across Animal Health, Licensing, Environmental Health and Trading Standards with links to Community Safety, Public Safety and Health.

The report would be considered at County Council on 25 June 2013 as both groups of Members had responsibility for authorising officers to carry out different elements of the Public Protection Services.

RESOLVED:

That delegated authority be given to the Director of Environment, following consultation with the Cabinet Member for Public Protection, Waste and Recycling to:

• Authorise officers from Wrexham’s Public Protection Service to allow these officers to legally undertake duties in Flintshire County Council
• Allow officers employed by Flintshire County Council to undertake work in Wrexham as and when required
• Authorise officers from the Public Protection Services of other authorities in North Wales to allow those officers to legally undertake duties in Flintshire County Council when similar cross warranting arrangements have been agreed
• Allow officers employed by Flintshire County Council to undertake work in other North Wales authorities as and when required when similar cross warranting arrangements have been agreed.
