7.2         Dean Orgill asked where the document was published as that would help Board Members circulate the report to partner organisations and promote the work of the Board on an inter-regional level.

 

7.3         Max Woodford clarified that once approved by the Board, the Annual Report would be published on the Greater Brighton website and an email link to the website page could be circulated to Board Members.

 

7.4         Councillor Parkin stated that it was important to note that the development at Shoreham Harbour would also have business space and that could be used for high-tech industry, for example.
