The approach taken to date and the next steps being undertaken were noted.

Councillor Izzi Seccombe presented a report that provided an update on the Funding for Growth Programme membership, meetings convened so far, current areas of focus and initial findings to date. The Funding for Growth Programme was a key part of the region’s approach to devolution following the first devolution deal and was set up to focus on generating and implementing ideas that would drive additional funding for the region.

Councillor Ian Ward indicated that he looked forward to working with the programme in his capacity as Portfolio Lead for Economic Growth. Six-monthly update reports on the work of the programme would be submitted to future meetings of this board.
