Committee Activity
Planning & Transport Group
This group considers the
development of the whole of the West of England and how
infrastructure will impact on economic growth over the next twenty
years. It views major development proposals and where thought
necessary in terms of employment opportunities, will support the
planing application. Conversely, the group has also objected to
plans where not in the long term interests of business. The group
is also concerned with provision of clean, adequate,
choice of transport alternatives today, as with the longer term
growth of infrastructure matching our economic growth. It has
regular dialogue with all forms of transport operators, in an
effort to ensure that the City region functions despite
congestion.

Group Meetings Agendas:

Business Forum
The ability to operate a business
of whatever size is of particular concern to the Forum. The
Chancellor's annual Budget and Statement is always discussed in
detail and a letter sent with members views on future change. All
kinds of legislation that impinge on business are brought to
members attention, and Government consultations responded to if
appropriate.
