What does the Company have the freedom to do?


"Freedom within boundaries"

The Company is free to use its resources in any way it wishes to deliver the "objects" for the Company set out in the Memorandum of Association. It cannot do anything other than work towards those objects - they are its "sole purpose".

However the objects set out a broad approach to the regeneration of the district and allow the company considerable scope for activity.

The following table illustrates the balance between the "boundaries" set for the Company by the Council as set out in the Memorandum of Association and the freedom to decide and act which the Company has.

Company decides ...

Memorandum and Articles - including objects for the company.

Company rules, procedures and regulations - as long as they do not conflict with the Memorandum and Articles.
Priorities for action to achieve the objects set by the Council - to be set out in a Delivery Plan and provided to the Council within 4 months of the first Board Meeting.
