Issue - meetings

To consider a report of the Corporate Director (Corporate and Support Services) and Deputy Chief Executive.

This report builds on the One Stockport update presented to Area Committees in November 2020 where there was discussion about the shape of One Stockport to outline our approach to developing a shared One Stockport borough plan. This report covers how we are progressing the borough plan, our approach to capturing the views of our residents, businesses and workforce, the data and insight we are considering - and how this will inform our priorities for the future

We previously presented to Area Committees in November 2020 to outline our approach to One Stockport and our emerging borough plan. We committed to bringing an update on the progress of the borough plan and as such this report sets out our approach to engagement, data and insight that will inform our priorities for the future.

The Area Committee is recommended to comment on and note the report.

A representative of the Corporate Director (Corporate and Support Services) and the Deputy Chief Executive submitted a report (copies of which had been circulated) detailing how the Council was proposing to progress the development of the borough plan; the approach to capturing the views of residents, businesses and the workforce; the data and insight that would be considered, and how this would inform the priorities for the future.

Lisa Wright (CSS Manager, Stockport Council) attended the meeting to present the item and to respond to questions from councillors.

The following comments were made/ issues raised:-

·         It was noted that there were significant variations in life expectancy and health outcomes between the least and most affluent areas of Stockport.

·         The Committee were encouraged with the approach taken for writing the Borough Plan and acknowledged that Stockport was a polarised borough and that deprived areas in the borough were some of the most deprived in the country.

Lisa Wright welcomed the comments from the Area Committee and stated that the data would be looked at in more detail and that there would be a space on the website entitled “One Stockport Picture” to gather data to shape the services going forward.

RESOLVED – That the report be noted and Lisa Wright be thanked for her attendance.
