Issue - meetings

Mrs Angela Woodhouse, the Head of Policy, Communications and Governance, presented the Strategic Plan 2015-20, 2018-19 Refresh to the Committee.

It was noted that:

·  The Policy and Resources Committee had approved the plan for circulation to each of the Service Committees in December;

·  The top three priority areas would remain the same for 2018-19; and

·  The two priority areas within this Committee’s remit were:

o  Respecting the Character and Heritage of our Borough; and

o  Ensuring there are Good Leisure and Cultural Attractions.

In response to a question from the Committee, Mrs Woodhouse agreed to include the delivery of the biodiversity action plan under the priority area ‘Providing a Safe and Clean Environment’ as well as under the priority area ‘Respecting the Character and Heritage of our Borough’.

The Committee agreed that the word ‘Green’ should be added into the title of the priority area ‘Providing a Safe and Clean Environment’ as it would demonstrate to residents that the Council was committed to creating a green environment in the Borough.

RESOLVED:

1.  That the refreshed Strategic Plan attached at Appendix A be noted.

2.  That the following amendment to the Strategic Plan 2-15-20, 2018-19 Refresh be recommended to Policy and Resources Committee:

a.  The word ‘Green’ be inserted into the title of the priority area ‘Providing a Clean and Safe Environment’.

Voting: Unanimous
