Issue - meetings

To receive a presentation from Economic Consultants SQW, and to consider a report of the Head of Regeneration.

The Committee gave consideration to the progress made by economic consultant SQW in the development of a vision and high level master plan for Crewe. The key findings and strategic priorities were also highlighted to Members.

Mr S Pringle gave a presentation outlining the visioning process including purposes, processes and the rapidly changing context, the key research findings, the strategic framework and some reality checks.

Members raised concerns regarding where the capability and funding would come from to drive this scheme forward. The Committee acknowledged that there was no straightforward solution to developing Crewe and agreed that one of the main issues would be to address the image of Crewe.

RESOLVED

That the presentation and report be noted.
