(TO FOLLOW)

RECEIVED the scrutiny review of the Haringey Guarantee introduced by Martin Tucker (Regeneration Manager) and Melanie Ponomarenko (Scrutiny Officer).  A discussion followed.

NOTED

·        In response to a question raised by a Committee Member it was reported that discussions had been held with Tottenham Hotspur Football Club about the employment of local people during the new stadium development and afterwards. Jointly funded training programmes (particularly for hospitality and catering) had been planned but discussions had halted as the planning application was not being taken forward.

·        In relation to recommendation 4 the Committee noted that the work done with local big employers included assisting them in setting up workshops for the recruitment of local people.

·        The Families into Work projects meant that where there were 2 people in a family out of work they would be seen as one project.

RESOLVED to approve the report and refer it to Cabinet for a response.
