ORDERED that the Executive:

1. Note the report of the Place Scrutiny Panel into Barriers to Regeneration and its accompanying recommendations; and
2. Approve the Action Plan prepared by the service in response to those recommendations.

Reasons for the decision

REASONS

It was a requirement that Executive formally considered the Scrutiny Panel’s report and confirmed the service area’s response to the accompanying plan.  

Alternative options considered

OPTIONS

Executive considered the option of taking no action. This was not supported, as the Panel’s recommendations provided a clear and deliverable direction for the service and represented an opportunity to address identified barriers to regeneration.

Executive also considered the option of delivering all recommendations in full. This was not supported, as some proposals would be difficult to deliver or offer limited benefit, and therefore each recommendation had been individually assessed and incorporated into the Action Plan where appropriate.
