To consider a report by the Leader, County Councillor Barry Thomas.
Minutes:
Cabinet received the Powys Public Service Board (Powys PSB) Well-being Assessment. The Assessment was a key evidence base on which a statutory well-being plan would be developed and would also inform the council’s corporate planning arrangements.
Cabinet was advised that two emails had been received from members of the public challenging the data presented in the Environment Key Findings paper that there had only been 20 responses that expressed concern at the LDP Renewable Energy planning policy. Cabinet was adjourned for 5 minutes for members to read the emails. When Cabinet reconvened it was explained that the data was taken at a set point in time last year before the LDP consultation attracted hundreds of responses. Cabinet was advised that the emails would be forwarded to the Public Service Board and that the Environment Key Findings paper would be updated to reflect the responses received on the Renewable Energy planning policy. Cabinet was reminded that they were receiving the Well-Being Assessment for information and that the Powys Public Service Board was responsible for approving it.

1) The Powys PSB’s Well-being Assessment 2017 is noted and received for information. 2) Powys PSB well-being assessment be made available to new members in their induction pack and in local libraries, leisure centres and public receptions for public use.

The Well-being Assessment 2017 provides an essential foundation for developing the well-being plan by 31st March 2018 and will also inform the council’s corporate planning arrangements.
The evidence base contained within the well-being assessment gives a comprehensive picture of the well-being of Powys and as such should be made available publicly. |
