The Head of Policy, Communications and Governance presented the Strategic Plan 2015-2020, 2018-19 Refresh to the Committee.

 

The Committee noted that the Strategic Plan was in the process of being refreshed for 2018-19. It was proposed that the three priority areas of 2017-18 of a home for everyone, a clean and safe environment and regenerating the town centre would be retained for 2018-19. Once the draft plan had been agreed by Policy and Resources Committee, the Service Committees would consider their individual areas. The final document would then be considered for adoption by Council in time for the new municipal year.

 

During the debate, the Committee highlighted that the Biodiversity Action Plan was missing from the policies map and that when considering transportation it was difficult for residents to travel around the borough using any mode of transport at peak times and not just by car as stated in the current draft of the Strategic Plan.

 

RESOLVED:

 

1.  That the Biodiversity Action Plan be referred to under the Clean and Safe Environment priority and included in the Strategic Plan policies map.

 

Voting:  For - 12  Against - 2  Abstentions - 1

2.  That reference is made to the Strategic Planning, Sustainability and Transportation Committee to consider removing reference to ‘by car’ in the phrase ‘We do however recognise that travelling in and around the borough by car during peak periods can be difficult’.

 

Voting: Unanimous

 

3.  The refreshed Strategic Plan is approved for consideration by the Service Committees, prior to approval in February before submission to Full Council.

4.  The three prioritised action areas and performance reporting arrangements from 2017-18 be approved for retention in 2018-19.

 

Voting:  For - 14  Against - 1  Abstentions – 0
