Content

Cabinet:
 
(1)           
approved the proposed five-year Physical Activity strategy and
Council mission: ‘Getting Waltham Forest Active: A million
more days’;

 
(2)           
endorsed the ongoing commitment to addressing inactivity as a
driver of health inequalities; and
 
(3)           
noted the upcoming borough wide communications campaign 'Never in a
Million Years' which sits under the portfolio of Libraries,
Culture, Sports & Leisure.
 

Options & Alternatives Considered

An alternative option is to do nothing and continue
business-as-usual.

This is not recommended: if we do not develop and
implement a Physical Activity Stratgey it is likely that those who
are inactive will remain so and inactivity levels could potentially
incease.
