A copy of the draft Play Strategy was attached at Appendix A, parts 1 and 2, of the officer’s report.

RESOLVED –

1.   That the new Play Strategy, for the period 2022 through 2030, be approved and adopted.

2.   That the Service Director for Leisure, Culture and Community Wellbeing be invited to develop a five-year costed delivery plan, in consultation with the Cabinet Member for Health and Wellbeing, to give effect to the Strategy’s aims and objectives and for this delivery plan to be presented for approval at future meetings of the Cabinet and Full Council.
