A representative of the Director of Development and Regeneration submitted a report (copies of which had been circulated) providing an update on delivering Reddish District Centre Action Plan based on the recommendations in the Institute of Place Management Reports together with other local intelligence gathered over the last 12 months.

The following comments were made/ issues raised: -

·       Clarification was sought regarding the red phone booths in the district centre and whether they would be removed or replaced in the future. It was noted that no immediate decisions had been made about the red phone booths, but consideration was being given to ‘digital hubs’

·       Members enquired about the general welfare of the district centre (e.g. of the public and business) and how it could be improved alongside the development of appearances. It was noted that the District Manager would do all that could be done to help promote the district centre and get the best for the area.

RESOLVED – That the report be noted.
