Issue - meetings

Report of Director of Resources enclosed.

Consideration was given to the written report of the Director of Resources referring to consultation with business ratepayer representatives.  As it had not been possible to arrange a meeting in person, a budget report had been circulated to the Whalley Chamber of Trade, Clitheroe Chamber of Trade and the Love Longridge Business Group.  There had been no response from the Whalley Chamber of Trade or the Clitheroe Chamber of Trade.  The Love Longridge Business Group had responded with some areas for consideration.  The Leader confirmed that these would be explored over the next 12 months through the committees of the Council.
