That Members considered and noted the Quarter 2 Performance Report.

            The Chief Officer (Planning, Environment and Economy) presented the six monthly progress report for the Economic Ambition Board which had been delayed from December.  The report identified progress on outline business cases and Members were referred to point 1.05 which stated that the majority of projects were currently in an amber state.  Information on the 7 projects currently shown in red was provided at point 1.08.  Referring to Point 1.09 this highlighted the procurement and local procurement activities which were driven by the Economic Ambition Board.  Information on the Climate Change Board and Biodiversity and steps being taken to mitigate the environmental impacts was also included.  The appendix included more detailed information. 

            The Chief Officer (Planning Environment and Economy) confirmed it was hoped that David Matthews, the Land and Project Manager for the Land and Property Programme Board would be attending a future meeting.

            Councillor Patrick Heesom asked if an update on the Holyhead Gateway and Mostyn Docks could be provided when available.  In response the Chief Officer (Planning Environment and Economy) suggested if Councillor Heesom had any detailed questions then David Matthews would be able to provide answers at a future meeting.  He agreed to circulate any updates which were received prior to the February meeting.

The recommendations were moved and seconded by Councillors Paul Shotton                   and George Hardcastle.
