A representative of the Corporate Director (Corporate and Support Services) and Deputy Chief Executive submitted a report (copies of which had been circulated) providing an update on the campaign to date, an outline of Phase 2 and also sought to gain support from all wards and set out how Members and their communities could get involved going forward.

As part of the Council’s economic recovery work and ongoing engagement with the community and voluntary sectors, the One Stockport campaign had been launched in Spring 2020. The campaign’s overarching aims were to support local businesses, connect our communities, and promote health and wellbeing. In addition, the campaign aimed to ensure a coordinated approach to consider how Stockport could build back better.

Kirsteen Roe (Service Director – Citizen Focus, Stockport Council) and Grant Mitchell (Creative Director, Future) also attended the meeting and made a presentation on the One Stockport campaign.

The following comments were made/issues raised:-

·         What behaviour change was being tried to achieve by the One Stockport campaign and how it could be measured.

·         The aim was to strengthen local communities, including, for example, by encouraging people to shop local and improve access to services locally, for example NHS services. People wanted tangible differences to their experiences, not just a platform for positive news.

·         The scope within One Stockport to engage with local cultural groups was raised.

·         The initial erection of posters and signs advertising other areas of the borough was an error by the contractors and had been rectified.

RESOLVED – That Kirsteen Roe and Grant Mitchell be thanked for their attendance.
