To approve the Marches LEP Strategic Economic Plan 2019 for publication.

The LEP Director introduced the strategic economic plan. She set out the extensive consultation that had taken place on the draft document including input from each of the member councils. The plan reflected the economic priorities set out by each of the councils, had been approved by the LEP Board and was ready for publication. The plan would be distributed digitally as far as possible but there would be some print copies produced.

The councils’ representatives indicated their support for the plan.

It was resolved that:

(a)    the Marches Local Enterprise Partnership Strategic Economic Plan at Appendix 1 be approved; and

(b)   The LEP Director be authorised to make typographical and formatting changes to the document before publication.
