A shared legal service between Cheltenham and Tewkesbury Borough Councils has recently been launched. The new team will be called ONE LEGAL

A combined service will deliver cost savings to both Councils which will save money for taxpayers. An additional key benefit is the greater knowledge and skills base of the new team which will better equip it to support the varied and often complex legal work arising from the challenging business agendas of the two Councils.

ONE LEGAL is based at Tewkesbury Borough Council and retains a presence at the Municipal Offices in Cheltenham.

Leader of Tewkesbury Borough Council Cllr Robert Vines said: "I am delighted to see the launch of this new shared service, which really highlights the benefits of working together with Cheltenham Borough Council. We are committed to providing excellent, value for money services that really meet the needs of our customers - and this is clearly reflected in the shared legal service."
