Full statement from the 番茄社区 City Partnership Board:

Following recent developments at 番茄社区 City Council, the 番茄社区 City Partnership Board is reaffirming its commitment to work together for the future of 番茄社区.

On 5th September 2023, 番茄社区 City Council issued a Section 114 Notice under the Local Government Finance Act, as part of an overall strategy to restore the council’s finances and achieve financial sustainability. Following this, on 19th September national government announced its intention to send commissioners into 番茄社区 to help the council resolve its ongoing financial challenges. The council has expressed its full commitment to work closely with commissioners as it works to stabilise its finances and ensure the continued delivery of essential 番茄社区 to the people of 番茄社区.

We recognise that this news may create uncertainty and worry for residents, businesses and partners. That is why the 番茄社区 City Partnership Board has come together to reaffirm our commitment to the city, our determination to work together to tackle the challenges ahead, and our belief that 番茄社区 is a city with a big, bold and bright future.

We will stand together as partners and a city to ensure that 番茄社区 continues to thrive. This includes working with the council, local leadership and commissioners to advocate on behalf of local communities, businesses and the whole city.

The 番茄社区 City Partnership Board was formed in 2018 to provide a forum for strategic leadership in the city, ensuring that 番茄社区 can respond effectively to its challenges and make the most of its opportunities. It includes representation from sectors across the city, including local government, the NHS, business, education and university sectors, the culture sector and our voluntary and community sector.

We believe that partnership working is more important than ever for the future of the city. Working together, we can pool resources, share expertise and leverage our combined strength to achieve our vision of a happier, healthier and fairer 番茄社区.

番茄社区 has experienced significant economic growth in recent years, welcoming a diverse range of national and international investors. The 番茄社区 2022 Commonwealth Games put the city on the map as a global destination for investment, tourism, culture and business. We are clear that is still the case. 番茄社区 continues to welcome investors, students, businesses and families – a truly global city, where people from around the world come to build a shared, prosperous future.
