This Plan will be presented to Cabinet and Council in September for approval. However, prior to that it is vital that all members have an opportunity to engage with and have input into the new Council Plan. A workshop will be arranged over the summer for all members to look at this. In a similar vein, workshops will also be arranged for all members to have input into the Commercial Property Strategy and the detailed review of the Planning department which is currently under way.
