Purpose

To seek approval for the
establishment of and appointment to a two-year fixed term post to
ensure that the Major Development Team and the Business Growth Team
are appropriately resourced to deliver the Council’s
Strategic Priorities in relation to regeneration and economic
development.
 

Decision

The Chief Executive, in consultation with the
Executive Director (Resources), approves the establishment of,
and appointment to, a two-year fixed term post of Growth and
Investment Manager (PMG 2) to ensure the continued delivery of the
Council’s Strategic Priorities in relation to regeneration
and economic development.

Alternative options considered

The option of doing nothing was considered and
rejected because it would not allow the Council to effectively
resource and deliver the Major Development Programme and Business
Growth Priorities to meet regeneration and economic development
priorities for Knowsley.
