Minutes:

Mark Pembleton, Economic Growth Manager introduced the report. 

 

Councillor Morgan thanked officers and said he was liaising with Tristan Samuels, Director of Regeneration, on the final stages of the lobbying of the high streets fund and would send a letter of support next week. 

 

Councillor Udy said she also hoped to write a letter of support.

 

Councillor Pitt read out one of the many emails thanking the team for their efforts in supporting local businesses during the COVID-19 pandemic. He also wished to point out that this has been quite stressful for members of the team as they have worked really closely with businesses in financial difficulty to provide advice on financial support. The team has gone above and beyond and he thanked Mark and his team for their efforts in supporting the local businesses.
