I was at this event back in November and they’ve just emailed me this week to point out the speeches and some recordings are now available online. The appointed Regional Development Agency is getting more powerful as our indirectly-elected South West Regional Assembly is phased out, so if you’re based in SW England, you may find their current views affect a lot of your daily life over the next few years.
After the meeting, I passed on a few comments about how Business Link is failing to support cooperatives and I was asked for numbers, but I don’t think I have them yet. I’m still following this up and will post about it again later.
