Chippenham Town Centre Partnership Board Terms of Reference
5. Pillars
As agreed at the TCPB Board Meeting on 1 July 2022 - the following activity pillars, tracking the above objectives, are within the remit of the Chippenham TCPB (taking account of established operational arrangements)
- Managing the town
- Supporting business growth
- Vibrancy, Culture and Communicating the Offer
- Developing and Integrating the Town (including the masterplan)
Under this model, the Board will appoint a lead officer for each pillar from member organisations. The leads will be responsible for developing action-plans for consideration and endorsement by the place board, with the current activities of the Operations Board providing the basis. Deliverables should be in the short (3-6- month period) Medium (12-18-month period) and long term (18 months plus)for each pillar. In addition, the leads will seek to secure the necessary funding for the action plans to support implementation.
The below establishes the broad remit of each pillar, including areas of activity and IPM priorities. Responding to the climate emergency does not have its own pillar.
