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.
