1  Development of new Council Plan and refreshed Community Plan
There was submitted a report by the Chief Executive relative to the development of a
new Council Plan and refreshed Community Plan for Renfrewshire. 
The report intimated that both plans had been developed through an extensive
programme of research and engagement. A presentation, a copy of which was
appended to the report, summarised the work that had been undertaken to date to
develop the plans and provided an overview of the key outcomes and priority actions
which had been identified for each Plan. 
The report advised that the Council Plan was a key strategic document which set out
what the Council aimed to achieve over a period of time.  In terms of the Community
Empowerment Act the Council and its partners were required to produce a 10-year
Local Outcomes Improvement Plan Community Plan, locally referred to as the
Community Plan. The report requested Members of this Board consider potential
priorities and activities to be reflected in the two plans. 
DECIDED: 
(a) That the progress made in developing the new Council Plan and refreshed
Community Plan over the summer period be noted; 
(b) That the potential priorities and activities set out in the report and reflected within
the Council Plan and Community Plan be approved; and 
(c) That it be noted that both plans would be submitted to the meeting of Renfrewshire
Council  29 September 2012 for approval.
