Agenda item

The Area Council Manager made Members aware that workshops had been planned to consider the impacts of the increased cost of living.  A number of partners who had a geographical remit had been invited to be part of the conversation, which would be facilitated by Area Council Managers supported by colleagues in Healthier Communities.  It was suggested that the workshops would be useful to consider qualitative information, and to look at assets in the area to build upon, and potential opportunities.

In order to ensure maximum attendance, it was recommended that a budget for catering be made available.

RESOLVED:-

(i)           That the dates of the two workshops planned, as highlighted in section 8 of the report, be noted;

(ii)          That the intention for the workshops to be participatory and discussion based, be noted;

(iii)        That a total of £800 be approved to be used for catering at the two workshops.
