The Board received a report setting out how the draft Delivery Plan would take forward the Strategy over the next three years.

The Strategy had been adopted in February 2008 and as part of this it had been agreed that an Annual Delivery Plans should be provided. The Plan had been written in a succinct manner in order to ensure that it was accessible to as many people as possible. It did provide details of every project included within the Strategy and instead focussed on key flagship projects.

Within the Plan three key areas were focussed upon:

• People
• Places
• Prosperity

The Board was advised that the Delivery Plan would focus on projects taking place during the current year and a review of the previous years’ projects. It was intended that the Plan would enable partners to see the projects as a collective group and how they linked together to achieve wider goals.

In terms of performance monitoring, the Board was advised that in addition to the Council’s Cabinet, the Enterprise Partnership Board and the HSP would also received performance reports.

It was noted that there was no reference to the St Ann’s Hospital site within the document at present. The Board was advised that this would be included when the project came online later in the year. It was noted that the Strategy would be reviewed on a six monthly basis and if appropriate this would be picked up then.

In response to a query, the Board was advised that the Community and Voluntary Sector was involved in the Strategy via both the Haringey Guarantee and the North London Pledge.

It was noted that at present there was no reference to how building work in regeneration areas would impact upon the local community particularly in terms of traffic. The Police representative requested that the Police were made fully aware of any likely impact upon traffic before building work commenced.

RESOLVED:

That the draft Delivery Plan for Haringey’s Regeneration Strategy be endorsed.
