To receive a presentation and endorse the approach outlined on the draft Economic Development Strategy for Cheshire East

Minutes:

 

The Committee received a report informing Members that at its meeting held on 11 July 2009, Cabinet gave consideration to a report suggesting that a comprehensive Economic Development Strategy would be developed during 2010 and that a detailed timetable and project plan was in preparation. Members also received a presentation on an initial SWOT analysis of the economy of Cheshire East and why a strategy was required.

 

The Committee agreed that the rural economy should also be considered and that it may be appropriate to develop a separate strategy for this.

 

RESOLVED

 

That the Portfolio Holder be informed that the Committee endorses the approach outlined on the preparation of a draft Economic Development Strategy for Cheshire East subject to consideration being given to developing a separate strategy for the rural economy.
