Main issues The Project group has not met since the last Board meeting. At previous meetings, scope and objectives of the feasibility study were considered and discussed. Project development plan and detailed brief are still to be agreed, and further discussions are required with the shopping centre representatives. In principle it has been agreed that the Council will procure appropriately qualified consultants to undertake the feasibility study on behalf of the Board. A shortlist of prospective consultants will be circulated to the Delivery Group members in due course for information and review. 2. Outline of any issues/risks and how these are being managed The key risks at this stage relate primarily to stakeholder engagement and information availability. There is a risk of insufficient buy-in from key partners, which could impact the ability to progress feasibility work and agree a clear direction for the project. This risk is being managed through ongoing engagement and ensuring that partners are involved in shaping the scope and objectives
