8.1

The Director of Parks, Leisure and Libraries
and the Interim Director of Communities submitted a report that
outlined a forward agenda for the Communities, Parks and Leisure
Policy Committee for the 2024/25 year, setting out the key steps
the Committee needed to take to build on the progress made last
year and to deliver our Council Plan. This included the need to
prioritise our resources on our Council Plan outcomes and become a
community and customer focused organisation to deliver high quality
services for the people of Sheffield and address the financial
pressure facing the Council.

Alternatives
Considered and Rejected

Alternative Option 1:

this committee needs to set out for citizens the things we want to
achieve in 2024/25.
