Resolved
(1) That the contents of the report and key developments relating to the recent Ministerial Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP) Review be noted.
(2) That approval be given to Cherwell District Council (CDC) leaving South East Midlands Local Enterprise Partnership (SEMLEP) by 1 April 2019, hence removing the geographical overlap where CDC is a member of both SEMLEP and Oxfordshire Local Enterprise Partnership (OxLEP).
(3) That it be noted that, to assist with the transitional process, the Leader of CDC will remain on the Board of SEMLEP in his capacity as Chair of the Cross Corridor (Oxford-Milton Keynes-Cambridge) Leaders’ Group as observer after the April 2019 changes take place.
(4) That it be noted that CDC will continue as a full and active member (with board representation) of OxLEP.
