A report by the Director of Law and Governance, advised how the Economy, Regeneration and Development Committee, in co-operation with the other Policy and Service Committees was responsible for proposing and delivering an annual committee work programme. The work programme should align with corporate priorities of the Council, in particular the delivery of the key decisions that were in the remit of this Committee.

It was envisaged that the work programme would be formed from a combination of key decisions, standing items and requested officer reports. The report provided the Committee with an opportunity to plan and regularly review its work across the municipal year. The work programme for the Economy, Regeneration and Development Committee was attached as an appendix to the report.

In response to Members’ comments, the Director of Regeneration and Place assured the Committee that a number of the suggested themes of environment, social benefits, local procurement creating local jobs and future energy schemes did run through the Council’s regeneration proposals and he would ensure that there was a particular focus on these issues.

Resolved – That the comments of Members and the proposed Economy, Regeneration and Development Committee work programme for the remainder of the 2020/21 municipal year, be noted.
