That the Committee notes the content of the Fiscal Stimulus Package and supports its refinement and submission to the relevant Governments.

The Enterprise & Regeneration Manager presented a report on the background and content of the Mersey Dee Alliance (MDA) Economic Stimulus Package which represented a bid to UK and Welsh Governments for funding to deliver on five investment priorities for the sub-region.  The next steps were to refine and prioritise the investment projects within the package prior to engaging with both Governments.  Significant work had been carried out to ensure that the package and the Agreement for the North Wales Economic Ambition Board complemented each other without duplication.

Councillor Patrick Heesom asked that future reports include more information on the implications of the ‘HyNet’ scheme and carbon discharge management for Flintshire.  He moved the recommendation and was seconded by Councillor Geoff Collett.

RESOLVED:

That the Committee notes the content of the Fiscal Stimulus Package and supports its refinement and submission to the relevant Governments.
