Delivering an action agenda for the Twin-City and wider region

See enclosed exercise and consider the following questions:

  • What are the vital ingredients of an over-arching vision for cooperation in the Twin-City and wider region?
  • Does this three-tiered structure provide the necessary framework for initiating, supporting and growing future projects in the Twin-City and wider region?
  • Does it allow for local leadership within the public and private sectors to advocate for and champion an action agenda?
  • Can it address short-term actions and also provide longer-term guidance on strategic initiatives?
  • Should the preparation of a regional agreement, outlining key areas for joint working including more formalised structures, be considered?
