Decision:

1.    To approve the proposed structure for the events team outlined in the report.

2.    To approve the action plan included in Appendix 1.

Reasons for recommendation(s):

The principle of creating a shared events team has already been agreed and this is bringing forward a proposal to complete that action as part of the shared service phase one service reviews.

Alternative options considered and rejected:

It has been considered to not share the events team but this was rejected due to the desire to establish an events team at South Ribble and the benefits the extra resilience would bring to the already established team at Chorley.
