Issue - meetings

The Board received a report of the Strategic Director – Enterprise, Community and Resources, which proposed a work programme for the Board for the 2021-22 Municipal Year.

The report also discussed the intention to invite external partners to present to the Board on their topics and also gave examples of locations for study visits that could be made by Members between Board meetings, subject to Covid restrictions.  One Member requested to add the Runcorn Station Quarter and Astmoor Industrial Estate to the list of locations.

Two suggestions were made for a work topic: Business Support and Health and Wellbeing and Employability.  Officers provided further details of each topic and after debate Members made a preference towards the latter.

It was noted that during study visits, officers would endeavour to include some element/s of the Business Support topic within these. 

RESOLVED:  That the Board agrees the preferred option for a work topic is Health and Wellbeing and Employability and that all Board Members be invited to participate.
