PLACE JOINT COMMITTEE

PLACE JOINT COMMITTEE

The PLACE Joint Committee was established in November 2009.  This formal commitment provides democratic accountability and ensures openness and transparency on decisions made on a Pennine Lancashire footprint.  The Joint Committee is held in public and brings council leaders from each of the local authorities, together to make decisions for the benefit of the area as a whole. 

The primary role of the Joint Committee will be to take forward the economic priorities for the area and to take decisions on matters that are delegated to Pennine Lancashire from government and other public bodies. The committee will provide strategic oversight for Regenerate Pennine Lancashire Ltd, an economic development company for the area, and the development of strategies that operate on a Pennine Lancashire footprint.

The Joint Committee are open meetings, held bi-monthly and all agendas and related papers are available to members of the public.   Questions from members of the public are welcomed at each meeting.  Please see the agendas for more detail.
