Minutes:
Councillor Kearsley, the Lead Member for Health and Well Being, introduced report MCa/17/19. The recommendation was moved by Councillor Flatman and seconded by Councillor Burn, subject to the corrections and typographical errors being amended.
Members were pleased to receive the report. The delivery plan should now be included on the forward plan and be delivered.
In response to questions raised the Assistant Director for Environment and Commercial Partnerships explained an action plan would be developed as part of the Strategy with an integrated cycling element. Volunteering was very important and the strategic partnership was looking to improve on this. This strategy would be in line with other local strategies, as well as nationally. Negotiations with Stowmarket High School and the County Council had stalled due to Stowmarket High School turning into an academy.
It was considered that as sports provision was important the delivery strategy would be brought back to a future Cabinet meeting and included on the forthcoming decisions list in due course.
By an unanimous vote.
It was RESOLVED:-
(1) That the Leisure, Sport and Physical Activity Strategy be endorsed.
Reason for decision: To enable the Council’s to adopt a strategic approach towards the provision of Leisure, Sport and Physical Activity.
