Minutes:

Members considered a report which presented proposals to establish a Golden Triangle Partnership (GTB) Board, which would oversee the work of the Partnership and set its strategic vision, and asked them to nominate the Council’s representatives on the Board.

 

The GTP was a three-way partnership between housing and planning officers in Leeds City Council, Harrogate Borough Council and City of York Council.  The establishment of a Board (Option 1) was recommended on the grounds that it would ensure that the three partner local authorities were clearly setting a strategic direction for the Partnership.  Option 2 was to maintain the existing structure, which had at times resulted in conflicting priorities and had recently led to questions being made regarding future funding for the GTP.

 

Membership of the Board would comprise Executive Members with responsibility for the housing portfolio in each authority, Chief Housing Officers from each authority and the Project Manager.  Input from other stakeholder representatives or specialists might be drawn in as appropriate.
