What happens if they don't all agree the same?

I can only presume the majority vote wins. That's the democratic way isn't it.
Unless there's an even number of voters, then it's probably down to Mavis the cleaner  :))

Meant to post last night, so basically, and in non techy speak .  .  .  .  . 
Bolsover voted to be with the Derby/Notts group of councils.
Chesterfield went with the Sheffield group.

But it's all boll**** really because nothing is set in stone until the Gov say Ok LOL  (y)

Just double checked. Deffo didn't go with Sheffield for the main part.

This page shows who is a member of the Sheffield Region Authority. It's probably not up to date.
I presume a non-constituent member doesn't get to vote on matters, this would be Chesterfield according to the page at present. Now they have voted to be a constituent member, they will.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheffield_City_Region_Combined_Authority
Think I get the drift of what they were actually voting for now.
