In terms of the governance arrangements around the BIP a group called Transforming Haringey brought together to oversee the development of the BIP and this would also ensure that the Mayor’s Strategy and national policy issues were also reflected.

The Chair noted that the Cabinet was keen to address the disparity between the east and west of the Borough particularly in terms of the opportunities available to children and young people.

RESOLVED:
