Lancashire Locals are a Joint Committee of the County Council and District Council. The aim is to strengthen local democratic accountability through empowering locally elected Councillors to take decisions, shape and influence the delivery of local government services in their District.

There will be a Lancashire Local in each of the 12 District areas in Lancashire. At the outset of Lancashire Local’s remit will involve primarily County Council services together, this should enable locally elected Councillors to exercise a much broader influence over County Council activity in their District.

Part of the overall vision for Lancashire Locals is that they should enable local councillors from the County Council and District Council to identify opportunities for joint working and decision making particularly on complementary service delivery. Local circumstances will dictate priorities, but the enabling framework would allow such approaches to be explored.

On some services the Lancashire Local will have delegated powers to take formal decisions on local service deliver; on others it will bring local views to bear to shape and influence policy development and strategic decisions making. Sometimes it will do both. It will also monitor service delivery and performance of all County Council services in the District.

Borough Council Protocol

That Members of the Borough Council who are not Members of the Lancashire Local be allowed to speak at the beginning of the meeting in the “Public Comments and Questions” session.
