New Joint Partnership Working Arrangements
With effect from June 2023, please note that the previous Board and Management Group meeting arrangements that were undertaken for 6 years (2016 鈥 2022) ceased with the new arrangements being the Chief Executive of the Council hosting 6 monthly meetings (or as required) with senior management of HMNB Clyde to continue to develop strategic partnership working.
This reflects the significantly changed operating environment for all stakeholders brought about by the COVID 19 pandemic (i.e. significant reduction in need for office space due to increased remote working for employees) and an ongoing review of the challenges and opportunities.
The new governance arrangements are much slimmer whilst maintaining the frequency and level of dialogue between the two most significant stakeholders. The agenda and minutes of these discussions are available below.

On 27 February 2017, the 九秀直播 and Bute Community Planning Partnership and the Royal Navy formally agreed to work together on a mutually supportive relationship to maximise community benefit as a result of significant investment into HMNB Clyde.
Designated as the 鈥淯K Submarine Centre of Specialisation鈥, all submarine operations are now delivered from the Clyde. This brings significant potential for improved economic and social benefits to the wider local area of Helensburgh and Lomond and beyond in 九秀直播 and Bute.
This agreement formalises the 鈥楽trategic Delivery and Development Framework鈥 (SDDF) which sets out the governance and joint working in relation to education, economy and regeneration, community facilities, communications and engagement, infrastructure and transportation and accommodation.
The SDDF Board is responsible for strategic leadership and corporate commitment. The SDDF Management Group is responsible for the delivery of the priorities set out by the Board.
The Board meets twice a year (although this can vary depending on what is required) and the Management Group meets as required.
