Decision

Cabinet approved the following recommendation:

Cabinet was asked to note the initial responses to the Commission’s recommendations across the three remaining reviews (Appendix A) and to agree that all recommendations brought forward for implementation will be subject to further financial and legal consideration and where necessary, individual Cabinet or Cabinet Member decisions will be undertaken.

Reason for the Decision

The Future of Westminster Commission was established to advise the Council on areas of policy that are critical to the future success of the City and central to the delivery of a Fairer Westminster. The Commission has now delivered its final report and recommendations, please see Appendix B of this report.

All recommendations have been considered individually (as outlined in Appendix A), with a view to accepting, rejecting, or otherwise considering each. The proposed responses are put forward with due regard to the strategic priorities of the council and with the recognition that, where required, further financial and legal consideration will have to be undertaken before implementation.
