Minutes:

Cabinet considered the report of the Leader of the Council that updated Members on the delivery of the activities as outlined in the Council Plan 2017-2020 to make Gloucester ‘A City that Works for Everyone’.

 

The Cabinet Member for Regeneration and Economy stated that it was right for Members to be held to account against the objectives clearly stated in the Plan.  He highlighted some of the achievements such as the Transport Hub, Purple Flag status for the city and Robinswood Hill Visitor Centre.  The Cabinet Member for Performance and Resources thanked the Leader of the Council on behalf of Cabinet for his leadership.  She further commented on the ambition of the objectives adopted in 2016 and reminded Members that 85-95% of them would be completed before the end of the administration’s term.  The Cabinet Member for Planning and Housing Strategy referred to the Housing Zone plans (Priority 3 Key Action 6) and advised Members that these had been completed.  He asked the Corporate Director to ensure that the website be updated to reflect this.  The Cabinet Member for Culture and Leisure noted that the development at Westgate Park (Priority 2 Action 5) had not been delivered and asked what proposals there were to complete it.  The Cabinet Member for Environment advised Members that the initial plans had been halted because the ground was found to be badly contaminated and that discussions about planting trees on the higher ground were ongoing with the possibility of keeping the wet ground as part of the flood zone.  The Cabinet Member for Regeneration and Economy added that there were also relevant discussions ongoing concerning the regeneration of St Oswalds together with the Local Enterprise Partnership and that the local residents were keen to be involved.

 

RESOLVED that progress with delivery of the Council Plan 2017-2020 be welcomed.
