I wonder what will happen to CLEO?
Sounds like they did the same as Somerset did down here when they formed SouthWestOne with IBM.
CLEO is the RBC for that area, and they buy services from LUNS, with Lancashire being just one of the stakeholders. I doubt they'll go around changing things with internet connectivity too quickly... Also take into account that Lancashire is quite a rural area, so installing things up there is quite expensive.
More to the point what will happen to the Westfield Centre!Quote:

To be honest, it has already happened in other areas ... and in Northants we have done it too ... except not with a private company, but another LA (Cambridgeshire). Local Govt Shared Services is something that is popular with central Govt so except to see more of this.
CLEO will become part of the strategic partnership and will be run by the 'new company' consisting of staff from County Hall and BT when the contract with LUNS ends in Feburary.Quote:

And as such they can chose to be part of the strategic partnership.Quote:
