Councillor Addresses on Neighbourhood Issues Minutes: Councillor Gant spoke to this item. He had become aware that the Chair had recently accepted the opportunity to be briefed on the Northern Gateway project by the developers. He thought it would have been helpful for that opportunity to have been available to the rest of the Board and those Ward Members affected by the project.
The Chair explained that the invitation had come at very short notice and it had not been practicable to involve others. She noted that this had come prior to a public consultation which was due to start very soon and which would give all those with an interest the opportunity to contribute. |

Minutes: The Head of Community Services had submitted a report to request that the City Executive Board approve the Children & Young People’s Strategy (2018-2022) which had been updated following consultation.
Cllr Tidball introduced this item, reminding members of the Board that they had seen the previous pre-consultation iteration of the strategy. The consultation had been very effective, elicited over a hundred responses, the majority of which had been from representative organisations, which had, in turn, helped to shape and improve the strategy.
She was pleased to note that the Children’s Trust regarded the strategy as an example of good practice and it would cited in its revised Children and Young People’s Plan.
The Head of Community Services drew attention to paragraph 14 of the report which summarised common themes flowing from the consultation which included: making the strategy accessible to a wider audience; the need to work effectively in partnership; increased clarity on roles and responsibilities; increased focus on those with disabilities; and an increased focus on mental health.
The Chair thanked all those who had contributed to this important piece of work. She encouraged Board members to take every opportunity to celebrate and promote the wide range of support and activities provided by the City Council for children and young people.
The City Executive Board resolved to:
Adopt the Children & Young Persons Strategy.
