Minutes:

The Director of Finance and Business Improvement presented the Communications Action Plan 2017-18 to the Committee. It was noted that the Communications Action Plan set out how the Communications Team planned to achieve the Communications Strategy that had been agreed by the Committee last year.

Members requested the following additions to the Action Plan:

· Communications and Media Engagement at times of emergency, when the emergency plan had been activated;

· Communication with Maidstone’s business community; and

· Some further clarity around the resources required for the team to carry out the Action Plan.

In response to a question from the Committee, the Director of Finance and Business Improvement confirmed that annual cost of the Borough Insight magazine would be no more than the equivalent publication that was previously sent out with the Downs Mail.

The Committee suggested that the Leader of the Council should write the Foreword for the next Borough Insight Magazine.

RESOLVED:

That the Communications Action Plan 2017-18 be approved.
