Decision details

At the LEP Board meeting on 08 November 2016 the Board approved a slight reduction to the cycle of LEP Board meetings, and also reviewed the cycle of LEP Committee meetings with a view to mirroring the same cycle. The intention is for the Committees to all meet in the month prior to LEP Board meetings which will allow time for decisions referred on to the LEP Board to be prepared.

The Committee considered the report. There was a general feeling that keeping some dates as informal sessions could help set aside time for strategic planning as well as support relationships and information sharing. It was also noted that should items of business arise which required urgent attention, the informal session could meet formally. The Committee therefore agreed to move to four formal meetings per year, and to keep the other dates as informal sessions.

Resolved: that the programme of meetings for 2017 be amended to the below:

Formal Meetings

22 February

07 June

18 October

29 November

Informal Meetings

05 April

26 July

07 September
