The Report of the Head of Community Services.

Presented by the Community Services Portfolio Holder.

The Leader presented the report and described how the plan set out an ambitious future for the town, showing the direction of travel and the vision which could inform the vision of future projects and investment opportunities.

The key regeneration projects were described, and the key areas of work were highlighted. A member emphasised that it was very positive to see the improvements start to happen and that the schemes coming to fruition would be something to look forward to.

Councillor Robert Ashman noted that much of the scheme had been enabled by private investments and stated that this had been indicative of the confidence of private businesses in the potential represented by Coalville.

Thanks were extended to the Labour Group for their support with regards to the plans for the regeneration of Coalville and also to Leicestershire County Council for their continued support with the project.

It was moved by Councillor R Blunt, seconded by Councillor K Merrie and

1.     The document appended to this report be adopted as the Regeneration Framework for Coalville.

2.     The Strategic Director (in consultation with the Portfolio Holder) be delegated authority to make any minor changes to the document required, prior to publishing.

Reason for decision: The Council Delivery Plan for 2021 – 2022 identified that a Regeneration Framework Document would be produced during that financial year.
