Decision details

The Deputy Leader introduced a report to the Council and stated that the proposed Plan was considered by the Cabinet earlier in the month.

Cabinet had recommended eight priority areas in which improvement should be demonstrated during the coming two years. The Improvement Objectives relate directly to the priorities of the Corporate Plan and were selected by Cabinet in January 2016 after consideration of consultation responses.

The eight improvement objectives were:

·         Improving independent living for older people

·         Ensuring people have the right social services to meet their needs

·         Ensuring people have access to suitable accommodation

·         City Regeneration and Development

·         Supporting young people into education, employment or training

·         Ensuring the best educational outcomes for children

·         Increasing recycling  Preventing Offending and Re-offending of young people

Councillor Matthew Evans supported the general principles but made a general comment about the need to address basic issues which were of concern to residents in all wards.

Resolved

To adopt the Improvement Plan
