N.B: The Business Plans and Service Delivery Statements will be circulated the Members at the earliest opportunity. Minutes: The Committee received a report which referred to all of the shared services. It included a summary of the arrangements between the Cheshire East Council and Cheshire West and Chester Council.

Business Plans and Service Delivery Statements for the following Shared Services had been circulated since the agenda had been despatched: -
It was noted that the Business Plans and Service Delivery Statements for the following services were currently outstanding: -
A general discussion ensued on the Business Plans and Service Delivery Statements that had been signed off by the relevant managers, and some specific comments were made and briefly debated.
As it had not been possible to consider the documents in detail Members agreed to delegate approval of the Business Plans and Service Delivery Statements received and listed above to the Borough Treasurer and Head of Assets for Cheshire East Council, and to the Director of Resources for Cheshire West and Chester Council; in addition it was agreed that Members would forward any specific comments to them by no later than 24 July 2009.

Branding and Communications To agree the corporate branding for the shared services and to agree the communications implementation plan. Minutes: Consideration was given to a report on the development of branding for Cheshire Shared Services, and to a communications plan to support the effective delivery and understanding of Shared Services.
Following the last meeting of the Committee a number of suggestions had been investigated further and examples were circulated of the revised and updated designs including those for business cards, name badges, the internet site, uniforms and safety wear, vehicle livery and for a staff e-news letter.
In considering the application of the branding it was noted that there were some services that were to be shared on a short term basis, pending early review, and Members requested that the application of branding in these areas should be carefully considered in order to avoid unnecessary expenditure.
RESOLVED
That approval be given to the corporate branding for Shared Services to be applied in an appropriate manner, and that the communications implementation plan be agreed. |
