Issue - meetings

As part of the Local Growth Scrutiny Committee 2021/22 work programme, the

Committee agreed to undertake a Review of Integration of Social Value to BDC Policy and Delivery.

The Committee had put together six recommendations which would assist the Council in embedding social value in to the wider policy structures and operational delivery of services. To date 3 out of 6 recommendations had been achieved and 3 were overdue. The overdue recommendations were all actions that would be achieved upon formal approval of the Social Value Policy which was currently being prepared by the Partnership Team. It was intended that a draft Social Value policy would be brought to the Committee at its meeting on 12th February 2024, with a view to it receiving final approval by Executive on 4th March 2024.

Moved by Councillor Duncan Haywood and seconded by Councillor Jeannie Raspin

RESOLVED that the progress against the review recommendations be noted.

The Chief Executive, Director of Economic Development, Dragonfly Development Limited and Councillor John Ritchie left the meeting at this point.
