Euro MP Christine Oddy will attend the annual meeting of The Chamber next week, which will cover the first full year since the Coventry and Warwickshire Chamber of Commerce and the area's Training and Enterprise Council were merged. The annual report also covers the activities of the city's Business Link.

The meeting on Monday (21 September) at the Muslim Resource Centre in Foleshill, will give the audience an opportunity to tell the Chamber's directors whether they are keeping up with the plans outlined when its three year plan was unveiled last autumn.

Key issues which The Chamber is tackling include developing links between employers and schools, supporting new businesses, training young people and lifetime learning to allow people to continue to develop skills throughout their working lives.

Ms Oddy, MEP for Coventry and North Warwickshire, said:

"The Chamber must enjoy the support of the local population if it is to succeed so I am very pleased that business people and other members of the community will have the opportunity to examine its progress and to put their own views to Board members."
