Decision:
That the steps set out in the Action Plan submitted at Appendix B be approved.
Minutes:
Councillor Stubbs, portfolio holder for Finance and Budget Management, introduced a report outlining the Public Services (Social Value) Act 2012, and what Newcastle-under-Lyme Borough Council needed to do in order to comply with the legislation.
The act required public authorities to have regard to economic, social and environmental well-being in connection with public service contracts, and for connected purposes. An action plan was appended to the report setting out the steps required to ensure compliance.
The Leader noted that the proposals would link in with the authority’s aim to become a co-operative council.
Resolved: That the steps set out in the Action Plan submitted at Appendix B be approved.
