It was MOVED, SECONDED and RESOLVED that Mayor and Cabinet approves the appointment of John Bennett as Company Director of Catford Regeneration Partnership Limited to replace Zahur Khan, an officer Director who resigned from the role.

4.1     Councillor Brenda Dacres, the Deputy Mayor and Cabinet Member for Housing Development and Planning introduced the report, with a recommendation to appoint a director for the wholly-owned council company, Catford Regeneration Partnership Limited, otherwise known as the CRPL, following the resignation of two directors.

4.2     Councillor Dacres gave a background about the CRPL and highlighted the rationale for the proposed appointment.  The following were noted:

·            That the CRPL was created in January 2010 to purchase the leasehold interest in and around the Catford Centre to manage and regenerate the assets, with a view to improve the economic, social, and environmental well-being of residents.

·            That since the creation of CRPL, work had commenced to reinvigorate the Catford Town Centre, including the introduction of the Catford Library and the Catford Mews.

·            That the appointment, as recommended, was necessary to progress with the aims of the Catford Town Centre’s framework and to ensure the continued success of the CRPL.

It was MOVED, SECONDED and RESOLVED that Mayor and Cabinet approve the appointment of John Bennett as Company Director to replace Zahur Khan, an officer Director who resigned from the role.
