Date	Monday, January 11, 2010
Topic	Planning, Land & Flood Defence Environment Governance & Civic Participation Infrastructure

On Monday 18th Jan we have a stakeholders leadership group meeting to share and discuss our evidence to the IRS, share ideas, discuss complementary or conflicting elements etc. Others there wil be the Regional Forum, TUC, Chambers of Commerce, Yorkshire Universities and the Federation of Small Businesses

It will be a useful opportunity to share the YHREF messages and to bring others on board.

Would either component YHREF groups, or the YHREF collective be willing to share any thinking so far or any evidence we have so far?
