The Executive considered the work undertaken by a number of local authorities in Greater Manchester and Transport for Greater Manchester to determine whether a viable business case existed for the delivery of a shared service across a number of Greater Manchester authorities for Highways and Transport. The Executive agreed that:-
· the case for a proposed highways shared service be supported and the work to date be noted;
· the proposed shared services operating model and areas which lend themselves best to a shared service approach be noted;
· the further development of a business case with participating local authorities be supported; and
· the potential for the greater future management of the Greater Manchester capital programme, as outlined in the report, be noted.
