In accordance with Council Procedure Rule 10, Councillors were able to submit Motions on Notice for consideration at meetings of Council.

a) The following motion was submitted for consideration by Councillor Steve Fritchley

Industrial Communities Alliance (ICA)

This Council notes:

1.    The Industrial Communities Alliance (ICA) is an all-party association of local authorities in the industrial areas of England, Scotland and Wales.  Formerly the Coalfields Communities Campaign (CCC), the Council has been a long-standing member.  Members and officers attend regular meetings and receive informative reports and outcomes of research affecting the area.

2.    Prior to Brexit the ICA enabled the links with partners across Europe to be strengthened and allowed access to European Funding Streams for the benefit of the District.  Post Brexit, the ICA continue to lobby Government in much the same way in terms of increased support for Councils as previously, albeit European funding streams are gradually ceasing.

3.    The ICA has produced a paper ‘Local and Regional Development: The Case for Longer-Term Funding’ for consideration by HM Treasury. [Paper is attached].

This Council resolves:

1.    To support the paper ‘Local and Regional Development: The Case for Longer-Term Funding’, produced by the ICA for consideration by HM Treasury.

2.    To send a letter to the Chair of the ICA informing them of the Council’s support.

The Motion was moved by Councillor Steve Fritchley and seconded by Councillor Mary Dooley.

Councillor Fritchley spoke to the Motion.  He said that the ICA had done a lot of work in attaching money for industrial areas.
