Decisions:

The Deputy Chief Executive/Director of Corporate Services submitted a report seeking approval to the renewal of the contract with Merseyside Environmental Advisory Service for the provision of specialist advice on the Local Development Framework and planning applications for a one year period to 31st March 2010.  Funding was shared between the 5 Merseyside District Councils and Halton Borough Council, providing economies of scale and specialist services that could not be effectively provided at District level.  This Council’s contribution would be shared between the Corporate Services and Technical Services Departments and could be accommodated within existing budgets.
