To receive a briefing on Town Centre Management Issues
Minutes:
Jez Goodman, Economic Development and Regeneration Manager, attended the meeting and introduced Diane Smith, who gave a short presentation in respect of her role as Town Centre Manager. She provided details of the service she provided including: -
She explained that, in the previous year, it had been decided that Town Centre management was a function which could be devolved to Town and Parish Councils, although they did have the option to use and pay for the services of the Town Centre Manger, if they so wished. Bollington, Poynton, Wilmslow and Alderley Edge Town and Parish Councils had opted to do this and were charged a daily rate, based on the Town Centre Manager’s salary, plus 20%. The amount of the Town Centre Manager’s time spent on providing this service was dependent on demand. However, the majority of her time was spent on work relating to Macclesfield Town Centre.
Financial information relating to the Town Centre was also circulated.
Members of the Committee made comments and sought clarification on a number of issues relating to the Town Centre.
