Council boss to update town's business people
Friday, 12th October 2012.
Town business people are to get an update on the progress of developing and improving Haverhill from the boss of St Edmundsbury Borough Council.
The bestofhaverhill holds its next business meeting on Thursday, October 18, at Days Inn, Haverhill, from 10am to 11.30am and, continuing its theme of Wanting The Best For Haverhill the guest speaker will be Ian Gallin, appointed joint chief executive of Forest Heath District Council and St Edmundsbury Borough Council in April.
Mr Gallin replaced the chief executives from Forest Heath District Council and from St Edmundsbury Borough Council (Geoff Rivers) and has overall responsibility for reducing the money spent by both councils by adopting a more cohesive approach to the provision of services.
He will talk about the current review of the services provided and how, where possible, services are being redesigned to better suit the requirements of local people, for example the shared planning service.
The Vision 2031 project, which aims to create a community-led, shared vision for the next 20 years, will be a further topic for discussion.
Mr Gallin will provide an update on the initial consultation which took place in March/April this year, the progress made to date and the next steps in the process.
Elaine Carr, owner of thebestofhaverhill, said: “We are delighted to welcome Ian to Haverhill as our guest speaker. The town is entering the next phase in its development and there are some huge issues on the horizon which need to be addressed in the medium and long term plans for Haverhill.
"I am looking forward to Ian sharing his vision for the town. The delivery of services affects each and every one of us, as both residents and businesses, and I am sure that the local business community will be looking for assurances that service levels will not suffer as a result of budget cuts.
"I hope businesses will take the opportunity to join us for this event and share their views and concerns.”
