Dates have been set for the next three monthly business surgeries to assist established city companies to cut through the red tape and overcome those issues that are hindering their development plans.
Business can now book slots for sessions in September, October and November 2010. The monthly surgeries were launched last month by Peterborough City Council Leader, councillor Marco Cereste, in partnership with Opportunity Peterborough.
Councillor Cereste said: “Despite the very difficult financial climate some businesses continue to thrive and have their own expansion plans. We want to help those existing established businesses prosper and encourage entrepreneurship in the city by removing as much red tape as possible to allow this to happen.”
The sessions will be held on:
• 30 September 2010 from 12noon to 2pm in the Town Hall
• 28 October 2010 from 12noon to 2pm at Stuart House
• 25 November 2010 from 12noon to 2pm at Stuart House
Panellists include councillors Cereste, cabinet member for business engagement Gavin Elsey and cabinet member for housing, neighbourhoods and planning Peter Hiller, city council chief executive Gillian Beasley, executive director of operations Paul Phillipson, head of planning Simon Machen and Opportunity Peterborough’s director of economic development Neil Darwin. There will also be the opportunity to have individual detailed or sensitive conversations with panellists.
Councillor Elsey, cabinet member for business engagement added: “Our message is ‘Peterborough is very much open for business’ and these sessions are there to help you discuss and resolve any issues you have in a timely manner. We want to assist our city stakeholders to realise their aspirations and make a positive contribution to the future growth of our city.”
