Minutes of the previous meeting
Sharon Clay gave a correction/clarification from previous minutes – To achieve Fairtrade City status the Council needed to have a have a multi- agency partnership group. Initially the Greenshare Network offered to take this under its umbrella, but once established, the group have decided to be a stand alone group. The request to the Area Teams/Partnerships was to consider doing something in Fairtrade Fortnight and to provide examples of what is planned to include in the application form.
With the additional of the above amendments the minutes of the previous meeting were agreed.
The Chair requested an update on Fairtrade at this point. It was confirmed that the partnership group was now established with representatives from Hull CC, University, VCS and Faith sector. Fairtrade information and promotional material is available on the Fairtrade Foundation website. The application will be submitted for re-accreditation as a Fairtrade City in during March 2017.

The three priorities were likely to be grouped under a theme of ‘Inclusive Growth’, to bring in the ambition that everyone in the city will benefit from the economic regeneration that Hull is currently experiencing. A refreshed City Plan is expected in April 2017.
