The report of the Chief Executive set out details of proposed changes to the draft Borough Economic Regeneration Strategy 2019-2023 in light of feedback received during the consultation exercise undertaken during October and November 2018. Particular reference was made to access to broadband provision in remote areas, the need to lobby for lower business rates to encourage High Street shops, the development of socio-economic initiatives in ‘deprived areas’ to support those seeking employment and the success of the West Kent Careers and Enterprise Network in promoting ‘work readiness’ in schools and colleges.  It was noted that these issues had been included in the revised strategy set out at Annex 1 to the report. 

 

RECOMMENDED:  That the Borough Economic Regeneration Strategy 2019-2023, as set out at Appendix 1 to the report, be approved.
