Advice of the Advisory Panel

That the Executive Leader be advised to;

ii)            Support and endorse the actions being taken.

iii)        Give authorisation for the submission of the Northern Way proposals on behalf of the Science City York partnership.

iv)        Await a further report on the stakeholder discussions.
