Tonight, I attended the City of London Corporation’s Policy and Resources Committee annual dinner at Haberdashers Hall.
The Policy and Resources Committee is responsible for the City Corporation’s governance arrangements, recommending its strategic priorities, agreeing policy, allocating overall resources and overseeing the City’s security and emergency planning arrangements. It is similar to the Cabinet arrangement in most other local authorities. I have served as a member of this Committee for 4 years.
The dinner is an opportunity to discuss with key partners how the Corporation is delivering the government’s economic growth agenda and where they can help support these objectives.
Below you can read the Policy Chairman’s speech, which outlines some of our achievements over the past year and some of the challenges which remain ahead.
