Page 78 - Barrow Town Deal Board Agenda 14/4/2020

While there is still a significant amount of work to be undertaken between now
and the submission of the plan in July, we are nonetheless in a position to
bring forward the plan with a draft framework for consideration, provided as
Appendix A to this report. This sets out the key sections and approach with a
plan that is intended to:

 Affirm the vision and objectives for the town and critical success factors
for the plan;

 Define the character, strengths and opportunities within the town and
also the challenges faced;

 Map a clear and long term approach to support the transformation of
the town;

 Set out an investment strategy to deliver the plan, this would focus on
the Town Deal alongside wider public and private investment
opportunities; and

 Clearly set out the delivery and Governance arrangements to support
the plan and its development.

Alongside the Framework, work is ongoing to develop and agree an approach
on the style of the document. The suggested style is provided as Appendix B,
with this looking to borrow from the style of the Brilliant Barrow website to
provide a bright, spatial and eye-catching document.

Views from the Board are requested on both the Plan Framework and the
Design, as we progress development of a draft which will be considered at the
June board meeting.

End.
