Purpose:

Content: The Chair concluded by reflecting on the scale of upcoming workshops, noting that with 36–37 councillors invited, they resembled large gatherings rather than intimate workshops. He suggested reviewing attendance to preserve the workshop format.   The Chair also expressed caution about workshops producing recommended actions, stating that their role should be limited to generating findings. He emphasised the transparency, and the importance of not making decisions behind closed doors was reiterated.   The Chair confirmed that the first two workshops would be held on: ·       7 November: Business case development (online) ·       21 November: Meet the partner (in-person) The future workshop plan would be developed in consultation with the Chair and Vice Chair.
