It was RESOLVED:
1.1 That the refreshed Sport, Leisure and Physical Activity Strategy, priority actions identified and supporting evidence base be approved.
1.2 That a comprehensive Action Plan be developed for the next 3 year based on the priority actions identified in the Strategy.
Reason for Decision:
1. That the Councils have a clear strategy and action plan for Leisure, Sport and Physical Activity to support delivery across the Districts for the next 3 years and which reflects national and regional policies and strategies.
2. Developing an up to date Leisure, Sport and Physical Activity Strategy is a key strand of the Council emerging Wellbeing Strategy
3. To ensure the Councils have a strategy which is linked to key partner outcomes eg Clinical Commissioning Group priorities, Active Suffolk.
4. The refreshed evidence base and strategy will maximise the current assets across the district for our communities.
Alternative Options Considered and Rejected:
1.1 DO NOTHING (Not Recommended) – the current strategy is in place, however, no longer fits our wider aspirations to increase participation in our communities or reflects the updated evidence base we have now developed.
1.2 APPROVE (Recommended) – this refresh strategy considers the new housing numbers, key actions have been delivered since the previous evidence base and reflects national emphasis on increased community physical activity. It also reflects the current known impacts of COVID 19 on our district provision.
