The Board received a report that provided an update on the business and enterprise activities funded through the Area Based Grant.

In response to a query the Board was advised that the use of Alexandra Palace for the Film Festival ‘after party’ had been secured on a cost free basis.

It was noted that a significant proportion of the empty units in the Shopping City complex had now been let and consequently they had not been used as part of the ‘Empty Shops’ scheme. This was largely due to a number of smaller traders taking up short term leases.

The Board was advised the that the initiative to bring empty shop fronts back into use had been led by Cabinet Members. The first shop, situated on Stroud Green Road, would be used as exhibition space during December.

RESOLVED:

That the report be noted.
