The report to Cabinet set out the suggested response to the Growth Scrutiny Committee review of how Business Centre and Industrial Units in the District were managed. It included an Action Plan of measures that it proposed should now be taken.

Members were reminded that the review had been carried out during the 2018/19 municipal year. The current Growth Scrutiny Committee, it was explained, had considered the review report and had largely agreed with its findings and recommendations. It had asked that these be submitted to Cabinet for consideration.

Cabinet discussed the proposed Action Plan. Members reflected on what progress had been made towards improving the service since the review had taken place. They also heard how many of the issues raised by the review had, or were, being addressed.
