To present the final draft of the 2030 Annual
Report for approval prior to its publication
The 2030 Strategy Manager explained that the 2030 engagement board had been established and the report reflected on progress made across the 7 key priorities and continued future progress over 2022-2023. The report had been used to engage with communities to encourage communities and to follow the example of SDC and partners.
Councillor Mossman referred to the amendments made to the 6 June 2019 Environment Committee minutes which referred to the establishment of a cross-party Member and Officer group and for urgent action to be taken to ensure budget discussions for 2020-2021 included funds to install multiple charging points, including superfast points in SDC car parks and land. Councillor Mossman believed these actions had not happened. The 2030 Strategy Manager advised the budget was used for fleet vehicles and charging points in SDC estates with a small budget (around 12K) remaining for good decision making on wider economic developments. An Officer Action Group had been set up and were looking at electric vehicle infrastructure in consultation with the South West Energy Hub. A business case needed to be explored in respect of SDC car parks. Councillor Mossman asked for an estimated timeline for completion and the 2030 Strategy Manager advised an options appraisal would be within the next 6 months.
The 2030 Strategy Manager, Head of Planning Strategy and Economic Development and the Chair, Councillor Turner, answered Members questions in relation to the report with the following answers:
The Chair, Councillor Turner, asked Committee if they would accept a friendly amendment to the decision to include ‘and RECOMMEND to Council that the decision to approve the 2021-2022 Annual Report is endorsed’. Committee agreed to accept as a friendly amendment.
