Issue - meetings

The Board received an update from Dave Wells, Assistant Director for Regeneration about the Station Gateway project.

Since the previous meeting, the proposals had been launched at the UKREiiF Conference in Leeds, in partnership with Muse and the English Cities Fund.

Heads of Terms had been agreed and were under legal negotiation, with signing anticipated in the Summer of 2025.

Dave was pleased to report that the launch had generated positive industry coverage and attracted visits from government departments.  It was noted that additional funding was being sought to support a Strategic Outline Business Case.

The project’s long history was acknowledged and Board Members expressed optimism about the project’s transformative potential for Stevenage.

The Chair thanked Dave for his update.
