Meeting: 21/03/2017 - Council (Item 118)

BRADFORD COUNCIL IS TAKING A LEAD ON INCLUSIVE GROWTH

To be moved by Councillor Hinchcliffe

Seconded by Councillor Val Slater

 

This Council notes:

-          Bradford Council is playing a lead role in inclusive growth for our region, as demonstrated when we hosted the Inclusive Growth Commission’s regional launch event on 6 March 2017

-          It is crucial that everyone in the district gets the opportunity to contribute to and share in any economic growth

-          We are committed to making inclusive growth principals integral to our own practices and in our influence with partners and third party organisations

We resolve to:

-          Consider inclusive growth as part of the council’s Procurement Review

-          Continue supporting employment and skills programmes such as SkillsHouse and encourage partners to get involved

-          Work with private and third sector partners on a Business Covenant to promote strong corporate social responsibility throughout the Bradford District.
