Report number CEX310 by the Chief Executive.                    (attached)

DECISION: That the Chief Executive, in consultation with the Leader, prepare a response to the County Council’s first draft of the Community Strategy based on the views expressed in his report CEX310.

Considerations/Reasons for Decision:

(1)     Report number CEX310 by the Chief Executive and appended copy of the first draft by the Lincolnshire County Council of its Community Strategy.  The main driver for this document has been the requirement to have a community strategy in place in order to secure a local area agreement for Lincolnshire;

(2)     The Cabinet concurs with the views expressed by the Chief Executive that the document could have better attempted to deal with the locality of Lincolnshire, and that certain targets are naïve or over optimistic.  Whilst agreeing with the principle of the strategy, some of the actual detail needs addressing.

DATE DECISIONS EFFECTIVE:

Key decisions at minutes CO106, CO108, and CO111 and non key decisions taken on 9^th January 2006 will become effective on 18^th January 2006 unless subject to call-in by the relevant Development & Scrutiny Panel Chairman or five members of the Council.
