| Decision Maker :- | Cabinet |
| Subject to Call-in :- | Yes |
| Subject of Decision :- | Recommendation from the Audit Committee - Regeneration and Tourism Strategies |
| Decision :- | (a) That Cabinet thanks the Audit Committee for its comment, but without any reasons as to why a review may be needed it would be premature to review the Regeneration and Tourism Strategies at this time, particularly in light of the diminished financial resources and considering the fact that both strategies were only adopted last year. They set a direction for the work of the Council and reflect a changing environment of economic challenges and opportunities. (b) That Cabinet takes this opportunity to re-affirm its commitment to improving the economic prosperity of the District as a Council priority. This Cabinet, through fundamental service reviews commits to ensuring that the Council has a sustainable and well resourced team that is capable of working effectively with our partners to take forward both the economic development of the District and to tackle the wider and deeper issues affecting the quality of life of some of our residents. (c) That Cabinet requests that the Audit Committee add to their work programme an audit of the £45,000 that this Council paid towards the Disabled Go scheme in order to give an explanation and assurances to Members that this money was spent appropriately as well as transparently. |
