RESOLVED that:-
|
(a) That any minor changes requested by Government (in early 2020) are delegated to the Dorset LEP Directors. (Cllr Slade and Cllr Howell). (b) That BCP Council seeks to support implementation of the Dorset LIS through appropriate alignment with its own Economic Strategy, due to be completed in 2Q 2020. |
Voting: Unanimous
Portfolio Holder: Regeneration and Culture
Reason
Irrespective of the outcome of the 2019 General Election, it is critical that Dorset can articulate a clear, well-evidenced economic ambition to Central Government, whilst also giving confidence to local business and future private investors. It is important that, when required, Dorset can move at pace to respond to both public and private investors. A Dorset Local Industrial Strategy with an aligned Council economic vision and plan, utilising the same economic analysis, will achieve this.
