Minutes:
Cabinet considered the report of the Managing Director that sought recommendations to Council that the Gloucestershire Vision 2050 consultation be considered and a response submitted.
The Cabinet Member for Regeneration and Economy advised Members of the context of the report and, while he acknowledged that the `super city’ project was controversial, welcomed the opportunity to engage in long term planning with neighbouring authorities as had been successfully done with Tewkesbury and Cheltenham for the Joint Core Strategy. The Cabinet Member for Culture and Leisure highlighted the importance of including culture and the city’s aspiration to be City of Culture 2025. The Cabinet Member for Communities and Neighbourhoods commented on the benefits of addressing social issues and community wellbeing and reminded Members of the interesting discussions and collaborations currently underway across the county such as the Gloucestershire Moves initiative.
