Purpose:

Content: 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.     8.2 RESOLVED UNANIMOUSLY: That the Communities, Parks and Leisure Policy Committee:-   1.     notes the progress made in 2023/24, recognising the work of Elected Members, officers and partners to deliver against our objectives and support strong strategic foundations for the organisation;   2.     considers the key issues identified in section 3 of the report as part of our forward agenda for 2024/25; and   3.     agrees to work across Policy Committees to ensure the opportunities and issues identified in section 3 are taken forward as part of the Council Plan in 2024/25.     8.3 Reasons for Decision     8.3.1 The recommendations support the continued strategic development of the organisation and will enable the delivery of our Council Plan by agreeing the key issues that this Committee needs to address in the 2024/25 year     8.4 Alternatives Considered and Rejected     8.4.1 Alternative Option 1:   Do nothing   Not set out a forward agenda for 2024/25 – this was rejected because having agreed a new Council Plan, this committee needs to set out for citizens the things we want to achieve in 2024/25.
