Report of the Leader

Decision:

RESOLVED THAT

 

1.    a Cheltenham Growth Board be established to drive the economic growth agenda for Cheltenham

 

2.    authority be delegated to the Director of Planning, in consultation with the Leader of the Council to prepare Terms of Reference for the Cheltenham Growth Board and to bring a report back to Cabinet for approval following initial meetings with the new Board.

Minutes:

The Leader introduced the report and reminded Members that one strand under the Place Vision which had been adopted by the council in 2018 was to support the thriving business and workforce agenda. Whilst the council had been working with the BID and the Cheltenham Development Task Force there was no overarching link with business. This was work in progress, but to support this agenda the council now wished to collaborate closely with key business sectors and proposed to do this through the establishment of a Cheltenham Growth Board.
