(Report of
Interim Chief Executive)
 
Consideration was given to the appointment of a Programme
Manager on a full-time 3 year fixed-term basis to co-ordinate the
various town centre related projects, developing and managing a
town centre wide programme and monitoring
progress.
 
Due
regard was given to the views of the Finance, Regeneration and
Property Scrutiny Select Committee who supported the creation of a
Tonbridge Town Centre Programme Board to oversee the wider work
programme.  The financial and value for
money considerations detailed in 1.4 of the report were
noted.
 
On
the grounds of mitigating risks associated with having sufficient
resource to progress the wide range of work, it was proposed by
Cllr Boughton and seconded by Cllr Coffin that a Programme Manager
be appointed.
 
RESOLVED: 
That
 
(1)           
a Tonbridge Town Centre Programme Manager be
appointed on a full-time 3 year fixed-term contract; and
 
(2)           
the allocation of funds from the Regeneration of
Tonbridge Reserve to meet the costs of the above appointment, be
approved (as detailed in 1.4).
