Minutes:

The Executive Member for Regeneration undertook to review the timing of reports on this issue to the Sustainable Communities Overview and Scrutiny Committee.
Reason for decision: To enable the re-development of the High Street, Dunstable as this was a critical element to the overall regeneration of the town centre and would help to unlock both improvements to the local economy and contribute to a more accessible and appealing place to visit.
