Any Alternative Options Considered and Rejected

Not applicable.

Scrutiny Considerations

The Committee received a report from the Chief Executive.

The Leader made the following comments:

i.    There were different views on the devolution deal; but the affordable housing money for Cambridge City council housing and wider affordable housing funding were both invaluable to Cambridge and addressed one of the biggest challenges facing the City.

ii.    The powers of the Mayor would be limited to those contained within the devolution documentation, and there needed to be someone in charge who was accountable.

iii.  There would be a full debate on this matter at the special Council meeting.

The Committee noted the report.

The Leader noted the report and consultation responses.

Conflicts of Interest Declared by the Leader (and any Dispensations Granted)
