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, to align with the corporate priorities of the Council, in particular the delivery of the key decisions which are within the remit of the Committee.  The work programme for the Economy, Regeneration and Development Committee was attached as Appendix 1 to this report.

Members raised a question about the proposed application to Government by the Liverpool City Region Combined Authority for Freeport status.  The Director of Regeneration and Place suggested that a workshop be held to brief members on the Freeport proposal.

RESOLVED: That the work programme for the remainder of the 2020/21 municipal year be agreed subject to the addition of the Freeport issue.
