Councillor Ann McLachlan introduced a report by the Head of Regeneration and Planning which set out the current progress of the BID proposals for Birkenhead Town Centre along with the implication to the Council of the BID, any subsequent successful ballot in favour of creating a BID; and recommended courses of action for the Council on these matters. 

Councillor Ann McLachlan informed that the Chief Executive of the Wirral Chamber of Commerce had requested that the report be deferred for consideration as the Chamber of Commerce had a number of concerns and proposals relating to the report.  Representatives of the Chamber of Commerce wanted to meet with Council Officers prior to a decision being made by the Cabinet.

RESOLVED:

That Officers be requested to meet with representatives from the Chamber of Commerce and the matter be deferred to the Special meeting of the Cabinet scheduled for Monday, 20 July 2015, as an urgent item of business.

Councillor Phil Davies back in the Chair.
