This report provides an update on the Southampton and Fareham Legal Services Partnership and asks the Executive to consider extending the existing arrangements for a further five year period.
At its meeting on 8 March 2011, the Executive resolved to enter into a shared service arrangement with Southampton City Council to share a Solicitor to the Council and a comprehensive legal service for a period of five years with the option to extend this for a further five years.
Due to the success of the Partnership and following detailed discussions between senior officers of both Councils, it is now proposed that the Southampton and Fareham Legal Services Partnership be extended with a revised and updated Deed of Delegation.
