Agenda item - Overview of Greater Brighton's Investment Programme

Report of the Executive Director for Environment, Development & Houisng, Brighton & Hove City Council (copy attached).

6.1         The Board considered a report that set out the Greater Brighton Investment Programme and programme management arrangements for delivery of the Investment Programme.

6.2         The Chairman of the CWS Partnership noted that the visitor economy was not listed in the working arrangements.

6.3         The Chair stated that he understood this was covered as part of the seafront priority area work. The Chair added that part of increasing visitor numbers was promotion and the Board may wish to consider a co-operative campaign for the area as a whole.

6.4         Councillor Yallop noted that the ambitions for Worthing listed on pages 52-54 were currently quite lightweight and he hoped that more ambition could be demonstrated in time.

6.5         The Chair agreed with Councillor Yallop noting that the items listed focussed on short-term deliverability which would change and develop in the long-term.

6.6         RESOLVED- That the Greater Brighton Economic Board approve the Greater Brighton Investment Programme brief and programme management arrangements as set out in appendix 1 of the report.
