Scrutiny Considerations:

The Executive Councillor gave a brief overview of the 2012/13 Community Development and Health Portfolio Plan. He asked members to note an amendment to add an additional vision statement to Strategic Objective 5 as follows:

"A city which celebrates its diversity, unites in its priority for the disadvantaged and strives for shared community wellbeing."

Members of the Scrutiny Committee were then invited to comment and discuss the plan.

Councillor Kightley asked for clarity on the North West Forum and which developments would be included in this. The Head of Community Development responded that this would present a challenge as development sites had different timelines. However, the model would be developed over a 6 months period. Successful models using a similar approach had been used in the Southern Fringe development.

The Executive Councillor for Community Development and Health approved the recommendations.
