The Regional Committee meeting on 23 October 2012 decided the final membership of the newly formed ICE South East England Aviation Expert Panel and ICE South East England Water Expert Panel.
Chairing the Aviation Panel is Rob James with Martin O’Connell as Secretary and for the Water Panel David Arnell is taking the Chair and Jennifer Brooks is Secretary.
The Regional Committee also agreed to establish an ICE South East England Transport Expert Panel early in 2013. If you wish to be involved in that please send your expression of interest, including your ICE membership number and your areas of expertise as a Word document to ICE South East England External Relations Executive Keith Brown.
Aviation Capacity
BBC Radio Kent hosted The Great Airport Debate on Tuesday 30 October 2012 and in the audience asking questions of the expert panel were Rob Sibley, from ICE South East England Aviation Expert Panel and Keith Brown, ICE South East England External Relations Executive. More details are online.
