The aims of Policy EC3 in improving local skills delivery and opportunities for local employment is unreservedly supported. In order to best achieve these goals and to maximise the improvement of local employment and skills it is recommended that the requirement set out in Part A of the policy, requiring at least 10% of the workforce employed from 20% of the most deprived areas, to be applied flexibly and ‘wherever possible’ added to this part of the policy to ensure that projects are not delayed or undermined by unnecessary skills shortages.
