Issue - meetings

(Lead Member: Cllr S Hinchcliffe, Director: Alan Reiss)

Resolved:  That the draft plans for COVID-19 economic and transport recovery be endorsed, subject to further development as the impacts of the situation become clearer.

The Combined Authority considered a report of the Director, Policy, Strategy and Communications on the draft plans for COVID-19 economic and transport recovery.

The draft Economic and Transport Recovery Plans were attached at  Appendices 1 and 2 and a summary of their contents was provided in the submitted report. The draft plans set out actions for a locally led recovery and have a priority to reduce inequality, increase inclusivity and build a resilient and sustainable environment for the region.  Members considered that a cultural element should be included in the draft plan and to ensure that people have easy access to skills and training.

The Authority endorsed the plans and noted that they would be subject to further development and flexibility as the impacts of the situation become clearer.  Members thanked all involved in the preparation and development of the plans.
