Content: Decision   That Cabinet:   1.    Approve and adopt the Sport and Physical Activity Strategy 2026 – 2031.   2.    Delegate authority to the Assistant Director (Leisure, Culture and Place), in consultation with the Cabinet Member for Leisure and Culture to make any minor changes required (such as grammar and layout) once the Policy is implemented.   Reasons for the decision   The current Strategy had been in place since 2021 and was due to expire in 2026.   The Sport and Physical Activity Strategy would provide a basis for the Council to deliver on its ambition to increase health and wellbeing outcomes across South Kesteven.   Other options considered and rejected   The Strategy played a pivotal role in working towards the ambitions set out in the Council’s Corporate Plan (2024-27). Therefore, the option to ‘do nothing’ had been discounted.
