Decision details
Southend 2050 - Draft Ambition, Desired Outcomes and Road Map
Decision Maker: Cabinet
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: Yes
Is subject to call in?: No
Decision:
Following a presentation by the Leader of the Council/Chief Executive, the Cabinet considered a report of the Chief Executive setting out the findings of the Southend 2050 engagement programme, together with the proposed draft Ambition, Themes and Outcomes and Southend 2050 Five Year Road Map.
Resolved:
1. That the findings of the Southend 2050 engagement programme be welcomed and noted.
2. That the Ambition, Themes & Outcomes and the Southend 2050 Five Year Road Map, as set out in Appendices A, B and C to the submitted report, be endorsed.
3. That the Transforming Together programme, outlined in paragraph 6 of the submitted report, be noted and endorsed.
4. That the matter be referred direct to the Policy & Resources, Place and People Scrutiny Committees.
Reason for decision:
To propose a new ambition and set of themed desired outcomes for the Borough, providing the context for the Council’s key planning documents.
Other options:
Not adopting the recommended approach would mean that the Borough’s vision contained in the 2010-20 Community Plan would be nearly 10 years old and the Council’s vision, aims and priorities nearly 13 years old, all of which have become, or will quickly become very dated.
Note: This is an Executive Function save that the final approval of the Southend 2050 Ambition, Themes & Outcomes and Five Year Road Map is a Council Function.
Referred direct to: all three Scrutiny Committees
