Decision details

Stockport Council remains committed to our Armed Forces Community. The most recent Scrutiny cycles have all received similar updates offering information of current work that has progressed within the Council and these will be amalgamated into a single report and submitted to Cabinet in October 2017 in order to raise awareness of this commitment.

This amalgamated report will also be distributed to the Chairs of Area Committees following Cabinet with a request that they consider what local activity is being undertaken in their area. In particular, members of the Armed Forces Covenant Group have expressed a desire to participate in Area Committee discussions in order to raise awareness of the available support at a local level.

The Council will also continue to produce our Annual Report for Cabinet; the next report is scheduled to be presented in April 2018. The Armed Forces Covenant Group will continue to meet on a quarterly basis and will continue to develop our shared approach.
