Media Pack 1 What is Liveable Exeter? Liveable Exeter is a housing programme that will deliver 12,000 new homes in new urban communities on existing brownfield sites. The programme will address major challenges of infrastructure and renewal, low carbon development as well as drawing together the core threads of the City’s vision for 2040 which includes Exeter as a prosperous, sustainable, community led and active city. Liveable Exeter is a programme of transformational change that will deliver major benefits to the citizens of the city, the region and the environment. The work of the Liveable Exeter programme involves taking a holistic approach to place-making in the city – building on the best of what the city already has to offer and creating a city ready for the future. You can find out more about the programme, the sites and community engagement plans at www.liveableexeter.co.uk. 2 The Liveable Exeter Place Board To help support such an ambitious programme, the Liveable Exeter Place Board has been established to bring together all the major organisations in the city as well as private and voluntary sector figures. It allows for frank and candid confrontation of the issues they face in a manner that supports collaboration and a common purpose. The issues involved within Liveable Exeter will have city-wide impact and will benefit collaboration with city partners. The Liveable Exeter Place Board is not a decision making body. The Liveable Exeter Place Board brings together the city’s leading public and private sector organisations, and offers the opportunity to collaboratively and proactively plan for the city’s future – with the aim of delivering on our 2040 vision and making the city an exceptional place to Live, Work, Study or Visit. 3 Members of the Liveable Exeter Place Board The Place Board is Chaired by Sir Steve Smith, former Vice Chancellor of Exeter University and is attended by the following members: Clodagh Murphy, Exeter Chamber of Commerce The Right Reverend Robert Atwell, Bishop of Exeter John Laramy, Exeter College Simon Jupp, MP Ian Cameron, The Met Office Ben Bradshaw, MP Sarah Crown, The Arts Council Karime Hassan, Exeter City Council Shawn Sawyer, Devon and Cornwall Police Cllr Phil Bialyk, Exeter City Council Professor Lisa Roberts, University of Exeter John Hart, Devon County Council Dinah Cox, OBE, Devon Community Foundation Paul Crawford, LiveWest Clare Kennedy, TEDxExeter Lee Elliot-Major, University of Exeter Kalkidan Legesse, Sancho’s Mike Watson, Stagecoach Matt Golton, GWR Tony Rowe, OBE, Exeter Chiefs Lord Charles Courtney, Earl of Devon Julian Tagg, ECFC and Exeter CITY Trust Lady Lucy Studholme, Northcott Theatre Suzanne Tracey, Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital Steve Hindley, Midas Charles Johnston, Sports England The Very Reverend Jonathon Greener, Dean of Exeter Mike Gallop, Network Rail 4 Cathedral Recent Press Releases The Liveable Exeter Place Board (23rd October 2020) Exeter Recovery Plan (27th October 2020) Liveable Exeter Place Board meeting dates (27th November 2020) Meeting of the Liveable Exeter Place Board (10th December 2020) 5 Contact LIVEABLE EXETER Civic Centre, Paris St, Exeter Devon EX1 1JN T: 01392 265772 E: [email protected] 6.
