The Public reports pack provided background information for these discussions.

Local Government Reorganisation

The Senior Leadership Team was scheduled to discuss local government reorganisation. The Public reports pack included an item on this topic, suggesting it was a key area of focus for the meeting. Local government reorganisation usually involves restructuring local authorities, potentially merging or creating new councils, to improve efficiency or better serve the needs of residents1.

Holsworthy Agri-Business Park / Kivells

The agenda included a discussion about the Holsworthy Agri-Business Park and Kivells. Kivells are a company of estate agents, valuers, auctioneers and chartered surveyors operating across the South West. The inclusion of this item suggests a focus on local economic development and the council's relationship with local businesses.
