Issue - meetings

To receive a report from the Director for Growth updating Members on progress with key Economic Development Service priorities.

The Group had before it, and NOTED, a report * from the Director of Growth and Chief Executive updating members on progress with key Economic Development Service priorities.

This included the following:

·         The commercialisation project was gaining significant interest from across the UK.

·         The Economic Development Team had been working closely with the Planning team over issues arising at Lowman Works which was the industrial site adjacent to TESCO in Tiverton.

·         Recently the team had been asked to provide an article for the Western Morning News Annual Business Guide which listed the top 150 companies in Mid Devon. It was suggested that it might be worth while doing an exercise to compare such data across other districts within Devon such as Teignbridge.
