Decision details

(Time: 3.17pm to 3.20pm)

Appended to the agenda was a copy of a letter from the Association of Councils in the Thames Valley Region (ACTVaR) which sought a view from on the Review of Sub-National Economic Development and Regeneration.  The proposal was for a single integrated regional strategy to provide a strategic regional framework, combining existing regional economic, spatial and housing strategies.  ACTVaR's Steering Group had been due to meet on 22 February 2008 to consider responses.  However, it was reported at the Executive meeting that ACTVaR's meeting had been cancelled as the Government had decided to delay publication of its consultation document until late February 2008.  The requirement to respond before 22 February had been overtaken by events. 

RESOLVED  (by seven votes to nil)

that the latest position of the Review of Sub-National Economic Development and Regeneration be noted.
