Issue - meetings

Committee’s consideration was sought for the Council’s proposed new Council

Ambition 2024-2028.

Under the current Council Ambition (2020-2024): there were three aims; Customers, Economy, and Environment. These aims would carry forward on to the proposed new Council Ambition 2024-2028, with a fourth and a fifth aim being added;

·       (4) Housing - by delivering social and private sector housing growth.

·       (5) Bolsover, Our Future.

The Improvement Officer took Committee through the actions which would help deliver the priorities under the aims. Members provided feedback and raised questions to which officers provided a response.

The Director - Economic Development, explained that the objective of the new fifth ambition, Bolsover, Our Future, was to align the Council’s priorities with what would be coming forward with the East Midlands County Combined Authority (EMCCA). Five themes would be worked to under the fifth aim; transport, land and housing, net zero, business innovation, employment and skills.

The Improvement Officer advised Members that the new Council Ambition would be considered by the other three themed Scrutiny Committees and feedback provided to Senior Leadership Team for review. A report would then be presented to the Executive, with a final report to Council for adoption of the new Ambition 2024-2028.

Moved by Councillor Donna Hales and seconded by Councillor Rita Turner

The Improvement Officer, the Director - Economic Development, the Head of Business Growth, Dragonfly Management Ltd, the Senior Devolution Lead for Planning Policy, Strategic Growth and Housing, left the meeting.
