Issue - meetings

That the Active Lifestyles Strategy 2023-2028 be approved for consultation, and the

Deputy Chief Executive, in consultation with the Portfolio Holder for Leisure, Culture & Heritage be authorised to finalise and adopt the strategy following the consultation process.

The Portfolio Holder for Finance, Town Centres and Growth introduced a report outlining the proposed Active Lifestyles Strategy.

It was felt that a ten year strategy was too long and that a five year strategy would be more appropriate.  Therefore the proposed Active Lifestyles Strategy would replace the Sport and Active Lifestyles Strategy 2016-2026.

The new Strategy would have three aims which were set out at paragraph 2.5 of the report.

The Leader agreed that the Strategy needed to reflect the outcomes of Covid and how people’s lifestyles had changed.

Resolved:       That the Active Lifestyles Strategy 2023-2028 be approved for

consultation, and the Deputy Chief Executive, in consultation with the  Portfolio Holder for Leisure, Culture & Heritage be authorised to finalise and adopt the strategy following the consultation process.
