What it recommends

In the report's own words. A recommendation is a proposal: the meeting can agree, change or reject it.

• “Cabinet would welcome the comments from Overview and Scrutiny. Government has requested that all councils included in the Devolution Priority Programme submit their proposal for a single tier of local government for their area by 26 September 2025. (The Chair declared the meeting closed at. 8.03 pm).”

What the meeting decided

The minutes record no resolution for this item. They say: “The Mayor reminded councillors that the report was for discussion only, with Cabinet making the final decision on the LGR submission. The Mayor called on Councillor Hilton to open the debate. Councillor Hilton said the Council will submit all three business cases for a single-tier authority. Despite no consensus, the aim is to secure the best outcome for Hastings. Financial analysis shows none of the models resolve long-term funding issues for local government, underscoring the need for broader reform.” minutes ↗
