Asset Management, Culture & Housing and Policy & Resources Cabinet Members – Minutes – 6 August 2014

The corresponding report of the following item (Minute 1 refers) contains exempt information as defined in Paragraph 3 of Part 1 of Schedule 12A of the Local Government Act 1972 (as amended).

1              (1)  BaE TRAINING ACADEMY – HUMBERSIDE INTERNATIONAL AIRPORTThe Director of Places submitted a report which sought approval for funding for the development of a British Aerospace Systems (BaE) national training academy at Humberside International Airport.

The report also sought authority for the council to enter into agreements to enable the council to deliver the development.

Officers had been working with BaE Systems, training provider LRTT and Humberside International Airport (HUY) to create a National Training Academy at Humberside International Airport. The Academy would create over 150 new jobs within three years and securing this opportunity was a major achievement for North Lincolnshire. It would also raise the profile of engineering as a career path in the area.

Details of the proposals were outlined within the report.

Although not the decision maker Cllr Mrs Redfern had declared her status as a council appointed Board Member of Humberside International Airport pursuant to Regulation 13 2 (d) of the Local Authorities (Executive Arrangements) (Meetings and Access to Information) (England) Regulations 2012.
