Report

Background

th
During the February 28 meeting of the Town Deal Board, it was agreed that
a long list of prospective Town Deal projects would be identified. Once
identified these could be tested through the appraisal framework.

The development of the long list was over seen by the Plan Development
Group and in so doing consideration was given to:

 The categories of proposals the Town Deal is eligible to support;
 Assessment of the objectives for the Town Deal;

 Historic schemes and concepts;
 New initiatives identified by the Plan Development Group and Town
Deal Board members;
 Initial consideration of the deliverability of proposals;

 Early thoughts about the impact of COVID-19 on the local economy;
and
 Consideration of feedback received through the #MyTown portal.
