RESOLVED that
i. the consultation responses and the suggested amendments to the Strategy are noted.
ii. the Bracknell Forest Economic Strategy 2024-2034 and action plan is approved.
iii. the repositioning of the Bracknell Forest Economic & Skills Development Partnership to the Bracknell Forest Economic Partnership as set out in paragraphs 5.12-5.15 of the Executive Director’s report is endorsed.
To establish an economic strategy and action plan to support a thriving and
connected economy.
The alternative option is to rely entirely on external polices and strategies to help
guide and shape the future support for our local economy. This approach would not
focus specifically on the needs of Bracknell Forest’s residents and businesses and
may reduce the opportunities to achieve the council’s objectives.
