To consider the report of the Team Manager Regeneration Opportunities.

Minutes:

Consideration was given to report of the Team Manager Regeneration Opportunities.

 

The Team Manager Regeneration Opportunities presented the report which provided an update on the work of the Town Centre Task & Finish Group.

 

The Officer went through the report and highlighted points contained therein.  She confirmed that a second meeting of the Task and Finish Group took place on 20th, January 2021, where the Group received a presentation on the Tredegar Advisory Group which included details of how the Advisory Group was established, how it operated and how it had supported Officers and Members to collectively work on the regeneration of Tredegar.

 

Members felt it would be beneficial to explore the possibility of replicating the approach taken in Tredegar across all other towns within the Borough, and Officers agreed to support Members to consider these options and the establishment of the groups.

 

A Member thanked the Officer for her work on the Task & Finish Group and said he felt that the Group was making progress.  In relation to the recommendation for updates to be reported back on a quarterly basis, he suggested that these be brought to Scrutiny when necessary.

 

A brief discussion ensued regarding the timing of updates being reported to Scrutiny.

 

The Committee AGREED to recommend, subject to the foregoing, that the report be accepted and progress of the Task & Finish Group be noted, and further updates be received as appropriate.
