Notices of Motion (i) Councillor L D Carter will propose the following Motion:- This Council notes with concern the attempted hostile takeover of GKN by Melrose PLC which threatens the jobs of many high skilled manufacturing workers, their pension funds and the supply chain. We call upon the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy to use his powers under the Enterprise Act 2002 and intervene in the public interest to block any sale which is against the long term interests of the Company and its workforce. The Motion will be seconded by Councillor S Davies. (ii) Councillor S Davies will propose the following Motion:- Council notes with alarm the threat of imminent overnight closure of the A&E service at Princess Royal Hospital (PRH). It comes, apparently coincidentally, at a time when agreement from NHS England to proceed with the long- awaited consultation on Future Fit is still not forthcoming. Council seeks urgent assurances from SaTH that the measure under consideration 1. Is not a way of pursuing the Future Fit preferred option by other means and without consultation 2. Has taken full account of the much-discussed clinical requirement for the Women and Children’s Centre to be co-located with A&E and will include the necessary steps to ensure patient safety Council reiterates its call to the two Members of Parliament for Telford and Wrekin to lobby their Government to ensure that the PRH retains its Women and Children’s Centre and that the local NHS is sufficiently resourced and staffed to provide full acute services in this growing Borough. The Motion will be seconded by Councillor A R H England. (iii) Councillor A J Eade will propose the following Motion:- This Council notes with concern the flawed consultation proposed by Shropshire and Telford & Wrekin CCGs to help determine future hospital services in Telford & Wrekin, Shropshire, and adjacent communities. This Council also notes with concern the limited options proposed for consultation by Shropshire and Telford & Wrekin CCGs and believes that they will not offer an equitable, modern or cost effective solution to 2lst Century health provision. Consequently, this Council resolves to urge Shropshire and Telford & Wrekin CCGs to include a third option within its consultation process based on the tried and trusted model as provided in Northumbria. This will include the provision of a new Emergency Care Unit located between Telford and Shrewsbury, community hospitals, plus the retention of the PRH and RSH to provide planned surgery and specialisms plus the four current community hospitals across Shropshire. The Motion will be seconded by Councillor N A Dugmore. KEY Yellow paper Recommendations from Cabinet to Full Council White Paper Reports submitted direct to Full Council Green Paper Recommendations from Committees, Boards and Commissions requiring approval by Full Council FILMING, RECORDING & PHOTOGRAPHY The Council supports the principle of transparency and encourages filming, recording and taking photographs at its meetings that are open to the public.

  • Brands Pin Success, Goals on Finding Right Niche
    Link to Article Brands pin success, goals on finding right niche 05 JUNE 2017 8:12 AM A look back at profiles of hotel brands over the first half of 2017 reveals some similarities in strategy. (Photo illustration: Annamarie Hudson) By Audrey Peters GLOBAL REPORT—The unique components of hotel brands are what draw guests to visit and return. In a series of brand profiles over the past six months, Hotel News Now has featured those distinctive atmospheres, design elements and other characteristics of brands aimed at catering to guest demographics. Here’s a look at some that have stood out. Canyon Ranch, a hotel and wellness brand, accommodates guests seeking a space to reset their minds and bodies. While the majority of guests range in age from their 30s to mid-40s, they are generally united in the goals of their stay. "Whether (for) weight loss, or just to reset mind, body and soul, (Canyon Ranch is) a place of tranquility,” said COO Tom Klein. “Some people call it a safe haven. … They’re coming for a really transformational experience."”" Langham Hospitality Group’s Cordis brand seeks to give guests a fulfilling experience through wellness programs, wine tastings and elite programming. Combining concepts of wellness and luxury, the brand hopes to attract a “new consumer […] looking for something more fulfilling than the average amenities” by showcasing indulgence and health, Langham CEO Bob Warman said. Travelodge, which has brands in both the U.S. and U.K., is focused on attracting leisure guests with locations that invite exploration. Travelodge hopes to be “the base camp for adventure” for guests that aren’t necessarily looking to stay in a hotel, but rather are seeking a place to stop and recharge before the next parts of their trips, said Keri Putera, VP of Travelodge brand operations at Travelodge U.S.

    20467 mw HotBen_MEPR_Aug07 23/8/07 09:21 Page 7 Middle East Performance Review Building a platform for the future As we said in the introduction, there are predictions that around US$3 trillion will be invested in Middle East tourism and infrastructure during the next 20 years. In the first quarter of 2007 alone, more than US$2 billion was invested in the hotel sector. This level of activity has prompted Reed Travel Exhibitions, the organiser of the region’s leading travel and tourism event – Arabian Travel Market – to sponsor three in-depth studies on the future of Middle East tourism, which we mention at the end of this report. It is also staging an annual event in Dubai to look at tourism development projects and investment. This trade show will provide a platform for investors to identify new projects, “In the first quarter of initiate discussions and strengthen relationships, giving operators and global destination 2007 alone, more than brands the chance to explore joint venture partnerships in the region. US$2 billion was invested Room for more in the hotel sector.” Many hotel chains are already pursuing aggressive expansion plans in the Middle East. From budget brands through to luxury palaces, everyone is keen to get in on the action. Regional player Rotana Hotels and Resorts is set to double its portfolio to 53 hotels by 2010. This will strengthen the company’s presence in Oman, Jordan, Qatar and the UAE – including a property set to open on Abu Dhabi’s Saadiyat Island in 2009. There are currently 17 hotels under construction, while 11 have been signed under new management agreements.
