Due to the success of the Partnership and following detailed discussions between senior officers of both Councils, it is proposed that the Southampton and Fareham Legal Services partnership be extended. Following the resource challenges experienced by both Councils during 2020 in response to the Covid-19 pandemic, it is suggested that a full review of the partnership be carried out during the 2 year period which may result in a revised and updated Deed of Delegation, should the recommendation be to continue with the partnership
