That the draft response from the East Herts Leader to the LSCC’s Growth Commission, as now submitted, be endorsed.

The Leader of the Council submitted a report seeking approval for a formal response to the London Stansted Cambridge Consortium (LSCC) Growth Commission Report.  The draft response was set out in the report now submitted.

The Executive recalled that the LSCC had commissioned an independent study of the London-Stansted-Cambridge corridor, with the aim of testing and creating the case to put to Government for future investment in the corridor to release its economic potential.  An independent set of economists, academics, business leaders, investors and financial experts (called the Growth Commission) had undertaken research and gathered evidence via a series of roundtable events up and down the corridor.  The report had been published in July 2016.

The Executive approved the draft response as now submitted.

RESOLVED - that the draft response from the East Herts Leader to the LSCC’s Growth Commission, as now submitted, be endorsed.
