Agenda item

Members were reminded of the discussion at the Area Council on 8^th June in relation to the Council’s recovery priorities and the financial position of the Area Council.

Subsequently Members had met and had a more in-depth discussion to consider the alignment of the Area Council priorities with those of the Council.

Members had felt that the Area Council’s current priorities aligned strongly with those of the Council but it was suggested that mental health could feature more prominently.  Therefore it was suggested that the priority ‘Improving Health’ be modified to ‘Improving Health and Wellbeing’.

RESOLVED that the priorities for the Area Council be as follows:- Skills for Work; Improving Health and Wellbeing; Young people; The Local Economy; and The Environment.
