Torbay Council representative on the Heart of the South West Joint Committee Talking Points for the meeting of the Council held on 21 June 2018 Joint Committee The second meeting of the Heart of the South West Joint Committee was held on 25 May 2018 at Devon County Hall. Councillor David Fothergill, Leader of Somerset County Council, was unanimously re- elected Chairman of the Joint Committee and Councillor John Tucker, Leader of South Hams District Council, appointed Vice-chairman. Productivity Strategy and Delivery Plan The Joint Committee considered framework for the Delivery Plan for the Heart of the South West’s Productivity Strategy. The Delivery Plan will be based around a series of opportunities which will be delivered through a range of tools or investments: o Opportunities in our transformational sectors: . Digital – Creative, Big Data and Photonics . Advanced Engineering – Marine, Nuclear and Aerospace . Healthy Ageing o Opportunities in our bedrock sectors: . Agriculture, food and drink . High value tourism . Defence o Enabling Opportunities: . Construction . Housing . Energy . Infrastructure It is recognised that across these opportunities will have elements which impact on our rural and coastal communities and that sometimes these will need to be packaged distinctly. The Joint Committee recognise that we will need to stay agile in order to respond to new funding opportunities. Peninsula Sub-National Transport Body The Joint Committee noted the work that is underway to establish a Sub-National Transport Body (STB) for the South West Peninsula. The emerging approach is for two STBs to be formed in the South West – Western Gateway covering BANES, Bristol, Gloucestershire, North Somerset, South Gloucestershire, Wiltshire, Bournemouth, Poole and Christchurch; and Peninsula covering Cornwall, Devon, Somerset, Plymouth and Torbay and potentially Dorset (after their reorganisation). The aim is to establish a Shadow Sub-National Transport Body in the Autumn of 2018. .
