Background:

 

This report proposed to re-establish a Chatham Regeneration Board to ensure the Council was in a position to effectively progress regeneration in Chatham.

 

It was noted that in 2011 the Cabinet had agreed to subsume the Chatham Board, together with the Medway Regeneration Advisory Group and Strood Regeneration Cabinet Advisory Group, into a new Medway Regeneration Community & Culture Advisory Group. Since then however circumstances had substantially changed; this included the recruitment of a Strategic Regeneration Project Manager, meetings with representatives from the agency who control the Pentagon Shopping Centre and various funding streams which have enabled a series of projects to be progressed.

 

In these changed circumstances it was recommended that a renewed Chatham Regeneration Board be established with a remit to oversee regeneration in Chatham.

 

A revised Appendix 1 was tabled at the meeting. This set out the membership by designations rather than by individually named Members.
