Decision:
The Committee considered the scope and content of the Draft Economic Development Strategy and recommended its adoption by Council
Minutes:
The Committee received and considered the scope and content of the draft Economic Development Strategy which had been the subject of a comprehensive briefing for Members on 29 March 2016.
The report highlighted that the Strategy focussed on five themes, selected following consultation with Members and the local business community. These themes sought to reflect and develop the Borough Council’s priorities already set out in the Corporate and Local Plans.
The Action Plan associated with these themes identified a variety of different interventions that the Borough Council could undertake. For example, the report highlighted that in order to improve accessibility and infrastructure, this Council could contribute to the delivery of transport schemes such as the Kiln Lane Link and Epsom Town Centre Improvements. In regard to the Kiln Lane Link scheme, it was noted that discussions were on-going with partners regarding the development of the business case in order that the scheme could be put forward as a bid to the Coast to Capital Local Enterprise Partnership.
It was agreed to recommend the adoption of the Economic Development Strategy
