Comments

"It is essential that all our activities put the economic wellbeing of Calderdale at the heart of decision making, as without economic prosperity achieving social wellbeing will be very difficult".

"Useful to know about progress made and any areas of where there are particular challenges".

"Future role could be substantial but need a more innovative approach to identifying needs and priorities".

"Needs more private sector representation".

"Really concerned that the environment does seem to have been sidelined and the cross-cutting importance is not recognised".
