PAPER ATTACHED

RECEIVED the report, presented by Harriet Potemkin, Head of Policy and Strategy, LB Enfield.

NOTED

1.    The Chair’s introduction that the administration had been working on a new Council Plan, to build on the previous four years and to recognise the changed economic picture and challenges. Priority areas should fully align, and partnership boards were being asked for their feedback. It was intended to launch the new Council Plan in February, at the same time as the annual budget. It was hoped that partners would see opportunities for collaboration.

2.    Harriet Potemkin gave an overview of the approach for development of the new Council Plan, and of its framework and principles. There were five high level long term outcomes sought for positive impact. Indicators would be tracked over the four year period to see progress and impact.

IN RESPONSE

3.    In response to Dr Nnenna Osuji’s queries, it was confirmed that outcomes in respect of obesity, smoking, etc were included in the Plan. It would be reviewed if they should feature in the covering text on Priorities. It was confirmed that there were indicators in respect of residents living healthy lives, and that the percentage of adults who smoke would be measured. Ageing well was picked up in the area of focus on supporting older people. In placemaking there was a need for homes adaptable for older people as well as for affordable homes for younger people in the borough.
