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.
