The Chief Officer Legal and Regulatory Services, HR and Corporate Policy, reported on the Information Report which had been published since the last meeting of Council.

The Chief Executive reminded Members that there was presently two Public Service Boards in the locality that would merge to become one to serve the Cwm Taf Bro Morgannwg area. Identified in the draft Wellbeing Plan at Appendix 1 to the report, were two main objectives which were Healthy Local Neighbourhoods and Sustainable and Resilient Local Neighbourhoods, so focussing on engagement to hear the citizens voice and getting community involvement in order to achieve the right priorities, was paramount he felt. To this end, the Chief Executive asked Members to encourage their constituents to engage in the consultation on this which ends next month.

The Chairperson of the CO&SC encouraged Members to attend the Member Development session on this topic dated 30 January 2023, in order to further promote and develop the scrutiny process both within the Authority and with any partners.

RESOLVED:                                   That Council acknowledged the  publication of the document listed in the report.
