The following updates were provided from Outside Body Appointees:
Cllr Pandor (Chiles, Webster, Batson (CWB) Commission): At the Culture, Tourism and Sport Board meeting in February, we had agreed to look at the recommendations within the CWB Commission, potential barriers, evidence, and principles set out by the Commission. Whilst it has been difficult to get the Members of the CWB Commission Task & Finish (T&F) Group together, a meeting date has been set for Wednesday 4 July, just before the LGA Annual Conference in Bournemouth. We will provide a further update to the next meeting of this Board once CWB Commission T&F Group Members have met.
Cllr Seeva (Creative Industries (CI) Council): A briefing had been given at the recent House of Lords Select Committee meeting, which fed into the CI sector vision report and had been published.
Cllr Henry (The London Marathon Foundation (LMF)): The LMF has now taken over a number of other sporting activities around the country. Most of the funding that the LMF raised from the London marathon is divvied up in grants that are mainly within London, one of the things that we’re looking at is whether we can support activities outside of London on a wider scale, we hope to report back to the next meeting of the Board in relation to this.
Cllr Jeffels (British Destinations (BD)): The next BD meeting will take place in 2-3 weeks. I will report back to the next meeting of the Board with an update.
Decision:
That Members note the report.
