Description
As a result of Local Government Reorganisation (LGR), Cumberland Council is duty holder under REPPIR 2019 & COMAH 2015 for the Sellafield site. However via an Inter-Authority Agreement (IAA) for administrative purposes tasks associated with the delivery of the Off Site Emergency Plan (OSEP) including the SLA are now carried out by the Joint Emergency Management & Resilience (JEMR) Team [nee Cumbria County Council Resilience Unit] which is hosted by Westmorland and Furness Council. Therefore for reporting/invoicing and other fiduciary purposes, the delivery of provisions listed in the Service Level Agreement (SLA) will be under Westmorland and Furness Council (W&F). i.e. this will be reflected in any financial paperwork.
Also as a result of Local Government Reorganisation (LGR), there is an aspiration to standardise the SLA process from a local authority perspective across all REPPIR & COMAH sites in the County. Thus there is the potential that a new SLA process may need to be adopted before the end of the current financial year, naturally this may impact on our current work packages and recharge forecasts.
