2.    the officer team be actioned to engage with key stakeholders and communities of the Borough to inform the preparation of the draft Place Strategy and supporting Action plan, to be considered by Council March 2017.

The Leader introduced the report and explained that the Place Strategy would deliver against the identified priority action of the Cheltenham Corporate Strategy (2016-17).

This was a new document picking up the economic issues which were important to the town and area and as identified in the Athey report.  He gave the example of the identification within the JCS of an area in the West of Cheltenham to be developed as a Cyberzone which would be very important going forward. Cabinet’s approval was sought on asking officers to engage in consultation with key stakeholders and communities of the Borough to inform the preparation of the draft Place Strategy and supporting action plan to be considered by Council in March 2017.
