The Report of the Head of Economic Regeneration.

Presented by the Business and Regeneration Portfolio Holder.

The Business and Regeneration Portfolio Holder presented the report. It was noted at the last meeting of Cabinet that the development of a budget for the Coalville Special Expenses Area had proven challenging for the Special Expenses Working Party. A balanced budget has now been set and innovative thinking is being applied to ensure the best possible services can be delivered to the residents of Coalville within the funding available.

As part of its responsibility there will be a programme of events in the town this year paid for by Special Expenses beginning with marking the Kings Coronation and concluding with the traditional Christmas in Coalville and festive lights.

The Portfolio Holder wished to amend Recommendation 2 which is reflected below.

It was moved by Councillor T Gillard, seconded by Councillor R Ashman and
