Joint report of the Remembrancer and the Director of Innovation & Growth.

The Committee considered a joint report of the Remembrancer and the Director of Innovation & Growth proposing the renewal of a strategic partnership with the Commonwealth Enterprise and Investment Council.

Members expressed concern that there was limited information within this report in respect of planned activities and what would be delivered. Consequently, whilst support was expressed in principle, it was agreed that approval should be subject to further information being provided and deemed suitable, with authority delegated to the Town Clerk (in consultation with the Chair and Deputy Chairman) to make the final decision.

RESOLVED: That authority be delegated to the Town Clerk, in consultation with the Chair and Deputy Chairman, to consider a funding proposal of £20,000 per annum for two years to be met from the Committee’s 2019/20 and 2020/21 Policy Initiatives Fund to support the Commonwealth Enterprise and Investment Council.
