8 Local Transport Strategy 2026 to 2036 A report dated 17 February 2026 by the Executive Director (Community and Enterprise Resources) was submitted on the Local Transport Strategy 2026 to 2036. The Council faced a range of transportation challenges shaped by its mix of rural communities, growing towns, and strategic transport corridors. Pressures on road and rail networks, public transport accessibility in some areas, and the need to support sustainable travel choices all contributed to a complex mobility landscape. To address those issues, the Council required a continuing and well-developed integrated transport strategy that supported all modes of travel. The co-ordinated approach would help ensure that investment was targeted, infrastructure was future proofed and services met the needs of residents, businesses and visitors. An integrated strategy would also play a vital role in creating successful, vibrant and resilient communities, strengthen connectivity and improve quality of life. The previous Local Transport Strategy had been published in 2013, presenting a 10-year vision for transport in the local area. A new Strategy, which would cover the period 2026 to 2036 and identified the Council’s strategic direction in terms of its transportation ambition and potential areas for investment, had been developed. Copies of the draft Strategy had been circulated to members in advance of the meeting and a summary of the Strategy’s vision, objectives, indicators and themes was provided in the report. Details of the proposed Strategy policies and actions were attached at Appendix 1 to the report. The Head of Roads, Transportation and Fleet Services responded to members’ questions in relation to various aspects of the report and undertook to:- submit a report to a future meeting of the Committee on the outcome of the mid-term review of progress of the Strategy look into the possibility of the Council providing learn to cycle training provide members with copies of Roads Safety Forum reports relating to Travel to School issues and submit reports to future meetings of this Committee as appropriate The Committee decided: (1) that the contents of the report be noted; (2) that the Local Transport Strategy 2026 to 2036 be approved; and (3) that approval be granted to the Executive Director (Community and Enterprise Resources) to make any minor amendments to the Strategy arising from the final publication process. [Reference: Minutes of 23 April 2024 (Paragraph 14)] 9 Review of the Management of Trees A report dated 23 February 2026 by the Executive Director (Community and Enterprise Resources) was submitted on the review of the management of trees. South Lanarkshire Council approved a motion at its meeting held on 10 December 2025 which noted the financial risks and implications of Ash Dieback Disease (ADD), community concerns about the height and maintenance of trees, and the risks associated with adverse weather events. In response to those concerns, it had been agreed that a review of tree management would be undertaken and reported to a future meeting of this Committee. 9
Page 10
The report was the first step towards addressing the motion and provided an overview of the Council’s approach to tree management and set out proposals to review the service and develop a Tree Canopy Cover Strategy. Information was provided on:- tree and woodland assets in South Lanarkshire legal and policy considerations in terms of the Council’s statutory obligations relating to the management of trees, contained in the report and at Appendix 1 to the report the Council’s approach to tree management and progress to date, contained in the report and at Appendix 2 to the report It was proposed that:- the Countryside and Greenspace Team would complete a review of tree management in South Lanarkshire, over the next 18 months, which would consider strengthening the Council’s move towards a pro-active approach to tree management. A further report would be presented to a future meeting of this Committee detailing any recommendations from the review the Countryside and Greenspace Team would develop a draft Tree Canopy Strategy which, as well as setting out the Council’s priorities and objectives for the next 10 years, would fulfil the Council’s statutory duty to prepare a Forestry and Woodland Strategy a review of the recommendations from the 12 Urban Woodland Management Plans, currently being prepared on behalf of the Council, would be undertaken with the aim of recommending a long-term programme of works for the management of 927 hectares of wooded areas and identifying any potential funding opportunities The Committee decided: (1) that the report be noted; and (2) that the proposed actions set out above and in Section 7 of the report be approved. [Reference: Minutes of 17 September 2024 (Paragraph 12) and Minutes of South Lanarkshire Council of 10 December 2025 (Paragraph 17)] 10 Appointment of Public Analyst and Food Examiner A report dated 24 February 2026 by the Executive Director (Community and Enterprise Resources) was submitted requesting approval of the appointment of a Public Analyst and Food Examiner. Amongst the duties and roles of South Lanarkshire’s Environmental Services, there was a need for officers to assess a range of produce and goods such as food, water and toys and have those items tested to ensure they were safe and complied with statutory standards. Within this context and as required by Local Government (Scotland) Acts, councils were required to appoint one or more Public Analyst to carry out duties under the Food Safety Act 1990. Whilst there was no statutory requirement to appoint Food Examiners, it was considered prudent to do so. The City of Edinburgh Council had been contracted to undertake analytical services on behalf of the Council since 2007. At its meeting held on 30 May 2023, the Committee approved the appointment of Karen Maddison as Public Analyst and Agricultural Analyst. 10
Page 11
In order to bolster capacity and improve resilience, it was proposed that Jane Couper BSc (Hons), M.Chem.A, C.Chem, FRSC of Edinburgh Scientific Services be appointed as Public Analyst and Food Examiner with immediate effect. The Committee decided: that the appointment of Jane Couper of Edinburgh Scientific Services, to act on behalf of South Lanarkshire Council as Public Analyst and Food Examiner, be approved. [Reference: Minutes of 30 May 2023 (Paragraph 6)] 11 Enabling Commercial Space Programme – Project Update A report dated 13 February 2026 by the Executive Director (Community and Enterprise Resources) was submitted providing an update on South Lanarkshire’s projects in relation to the Enabling Commercial Space Programme. In February 2024, the Glasgow City Region (GCR) Cabinet agreed that an allocation of £64.570 million from the City Deal Infrastructure Fund, previously allocated for improvements in connectivity to Glasgow Airport, be allocated towards a new, regional project of significant scale, allowing the City Deal to support new opportunities and priorities that had emerged since the initial programme was developed in 2013/2014. The GCR Cabinet had also agreed that, as required by the City Deal Assurance Framework, the Programme Prioritisation Framework process be used to identify the new regional project and, at the conclusion of this process, the “Enabling Commercial Space Programme” expression of interest had been ranked highest based on a number of factors detailed in the report. The main investment objectives of the Enabling Commercial Space Programme were to:- address market failure in areas of GCR where there were particular barriers in the development of new or refurbished commercial and industrial floorspace create flexible business space capable of meeting business requirements for a broad range of sectors create serviced industrial land capable of immediate development create opportunities for employment and inclusive growth with particular emphasis on making connections to local communities, schools and colleges in preparation for employment, particularly in areas of deprivation and targeting people drawn from disadvantaged or Protected Characteristic groups, including women and young people bring sites on the Vacant and Derelict Land Register back into use attract mobile and private sector investment both from abroad and from indigenous companies create sustainable, high quality business locations to support small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), supply chain businesses and start-ups Progress made in relation to the following projects was detailed in the report:- Red Tree Labs industrial unit upgrade and retrofit Cathcart Road industrial units Further reports would be submitted to future meetings of this Committee for consideration as full business cases were developed for projects. 11
Page 12
The Committee decided: that the progress in the delivery of the Enabling Commercial Space Programme be noted. [Reference: Minutes of 16 December 2025 (Paragraph 10) and Minutes of the Executive Committee of 4 February 2026 (Paragraph 7)] Prior to consideration of this item of business, Councillor Brown made a transparency statement to advise that he was a member of the Clyde Gateway Board 12 Clyde Wind Farm South Lanarkshire – Net Zero Community Grant Fund A report dated 11 February 2026 by the Executive Director (Community and Enterprise Resources) was submitted advising of plans to launch the Clyde Wind Farm South Lanarkshire Net Zero Community Grant Fund. A key priority of the Council’s Sustainable Development and Climate Change Strategy 2022 to 2027 was to empower communities to take climate action and to be more environmentally sustainable. To facilitate this, the Council launched a climate emergency community grant scheme in January 2022, awarding £340,000 to 108 community climate projects over a 3 year period. This grant scheme had since closed due to lack of available funding, however, community groups had continued to show a strong interest in this type of support. The SSE Clyde Wind Farm Fund, which was administered by the Council and had been in operation since 2009, had an annual income of £1,387,428 in 2024/2025. The legal agreement with SSE divided the fund into 70% for the local Community Fund, which was reported within the annual Community Benefits report, and 30% to the Development Fund. SSE Renewables and the Council had entered into an agreement on the allocation of £450,000 from the Development Fund to a new Council community grant programme operating over a 3 year period. The funding would not be tied to specific financial years and would be distributed as demand required to allow flexibility for applicants and ensure the best possible projects. Details of the arrangements for the Grant Fund, including award amounts and requirements for match funding, eligibility criteria, the requirement for projects to align with the Council’s climate change, sustainability, and climate change adaptation objectives, as well as the mechanism for applying, were provided in the report. Grant awards of less than £20,000 would be approved under the Council’s Scheme of Delegation while grant awards over £20,000 would be submitted to this Committee for approval. The grants programme would launch in summer 2026 and be advertised through the Council’s website and social media channels as well as via community groups, community councils and community partners. The Committee decided: that the arrangements for the Clyde Wind Farm South Lanarkshire Net Zero Community Grant Fund, as detailed in the report, be noted. 12

13 Douglas Valley Community-Led Outdoor Recreation and Adventure Tourism Project A report dated 17 February 2026 by the Executive Director (Community and Enterprise Resources) was submitted providing:- an overview of the Douglas Valley Community-led Outdoor Recreation and Adventure Tourism Project an update on progress and the next steps The Douglas Valley Advisory Group (DVAG) was constituted in 2023 and represented the 6 communities surrounding the Hagshaw Energy Cluster, ie Coalburn, Douglas, Glespin, Lesmahagow, Muirkirk and Rigside and Douglas Water. Each area was represented by a community council representative and an individual representative selected by the community councils by application. DVAG advised the Council on the investment of funds that furthered the delivery of key priorities, as outlined in the Hagshaw Energy Cluster Development Framework adopted by East Ayrshire Council and South Lanarkshire Council Planning Authorities in October 2022 as supplementary planning guidance. The Development Framework outlined 6 key themes related to the proposed sustainable development of the Hagshaw Energy Cluster and surrounds as follows:- realising the renewable energy opportunity resilient and connected communities co-ordinated enhancement of nature a strong identity, of heritage, people and place inclusive, sustainable growth outdoor recreation to support health and wellbeing The Outdoor Recreation and Adventure Tourism (ORAT) project, which was funded by the UK Shared Prosperity Fund, supported the health and wellbeing theme and was the first project progressed by the Council on behalf of DVAG. The project had set out a phased development of proposals comprising of 3 main elements, details of which were provided in the report, with an estimated capital cost of £14.5 million over the next 10 to 15 years. The proposals would be delivered with a variety of identified partners as part of a 3-phase process and details of what would be delivered as part of phase 1 were provided in the report. The Committee decided: that the progress being made to deliver the Douglas Valley Community-led Outdoor Recreation and Adventure Tourism Project be noted. 14 Clydesdale Way – Project Update A report dated 17 February 2026 by the Executive Director (Community and Enterprise Resources) was submitted providing an update on the UK Government funded Clydesdale Way project. 13
Page 14
In 2021/2022, the Council worked in partnership with Scottish Borders and Dumfries and Galloway Councils to develop a joint bid for Round 2 of the UK Levelling Up Fund (LUF). The joint ‘Three Rivers Active Tourism Project’ bid had focused on providing significant community benefits and improving culture and rural economies. The bid comprised of 3 projects, 1 from each of the 3 local authorities. The bid had been unsuccessful at Round 2, however, on 20 November 2023, the UK Government advised that the Project had provisionally been awarded £22,809,416, with £6,795,000 allocated to the Clydesdale Way project. The total cost of the Clydesdale Way project was £7,550,000, with the Council contributing £755,000 of match funding as required by the LUF. LUF criteria had specified that grant funding should be spent by March 2026, however, updated guidance from the UK Government had extended delivery to March 2028. The Clydesdale Way project would be delivered to meet this timescale. The project had focused on the rural path and cycling network through the development of the Clydesdale Way to address the gaps in the regional paths network, create investment in infrastructure to develop tourism in the area and establish active travel links between local communities. The proposed route, shown at Appendix 1 to the report, started at the end of the Clyde Walkway at Bonnington Lynn. From Wolfeclyde at Biggar, the route would travel towards the John Buchan Way at Broughton in the Scottish Borders and continue past Coulter, Abington, Crawford, Elvanfoot and Leadhills to join the Southern Upland Way in Wanlockhead in Dumfries and Galloway. The overall route would include high-level and low-level routes and would be developed by connecting a mixture of unclassified roads, existing tracks and new paths which would require over 100 landowner agreements. Information was provided on:- project governance arrangements the appointments of Turner and Townsend Project Management as lead consultant and Stantec as subcontractor leading on landowner engagement, consultation, branding, marketing, environmental considerations, active travel and infrastructure progress made to date next steps and associated timescales Following lengthy discussions with landowners, it had been identified that landowner agreement for 3 sections of the route would not be forthcoming. The Project Board had agreed to end discussions with those landowners and 2 sections were being reviewed to identify alternative routes. The remaining section had been removed from the project. The Committee decided: that the progress with the delivery of the Clydesdale Way project be noted. [Reference: Minutes of the Clydesdale Area Committee of 1 May 2024 (Paragraph 5)] 15 Business Gateway Lanarkshire – 2025/2026 Interim Performance Report A report dated 13 February 2026 by the Executive Director (Community and Enterprise Resources) was submitted providing an overview of the activities and performance achieved up to the end of Quarter 3 2025/2026 by the Business Gateway Lanarkshire (BGL) service. Business Gateway was a nationally branded service which was delivered by individual local authorities providing free, impartial advice and support to pre-start, new start and existing businesses. 14
Page 15
Business Gateway had the following core service objectives:- support more people with ambitions to start a business support more businesses to survive and achieve their growth ambitions support more people with their aspirations for high business growth support more people from under-represented groups to access mainstream business support The report provided performance information up to the end of Quarter 3 on:- enquiries from pre-start/new start businesses and existing businesses business start-up service existing business services expert help support quality assurance workshops and events Details were also provided on continued marketing activities to expand the brand visibility of BGL and key priorities and planned areas of activity in Quarter 4. The Committee decided: that the report be noted. 16 Flood Risk Management in South Lanarkshire A report dated 17 February 2026 by the Executive Director (Community and Enterprise Resources) was submitted providing an overview of Flood Risk Management (FRM) in South Lanarkshire. Flooding issues across South Lanarkshire were generally localised in nature and varied significantly by location, making their overall extent difficult to quantify with certainty. The Council’s road and drainage networks interacted with a range of watercourses, surface water systems and sewer networks, often across multiple catchments, resulting in a fragmented drainage environment. Responsibility for those were normally outwith the Council’s responsibilities, therefore, discussions and agreements with third parties were often needed to take projects forward. Evidence from recent flood risk and surface water assessments indicated that, across South Lanarkshire, flooding was predominantly associated with surface water and carriageway flooding rather than river flooding and/or repeated and significant flooding of internal properties, with the exception of Coulter where remedial work was underway to manage this. Reported incidents were more commonly related to roads, underpasses, and other low-lying sections of the transport network during intense rainfall, which could cause disruption due to system capacity issues, such as Scottish Water foul sewer and surface water systems, but were generally short-lived. Climate change predictions indicated that Scotland would experience an increasingly warmer and wetter weather shift. South Lanarkshire was, therefore, predicted to experience more intense and/or prolonged rainstorms, resulting in greater water surges through the river networks, leading to an increase in intensity and frequency of flood events. The most recent National Flood Risk Assessment stated that during the medium likelihood flooding scenario (a 1 in 200-year storm), there were 8,500 homes, businesses, and services at risk of flooding within South Lanarkshire, which equated to 1 in every 19 properties across the Council area. 15
Page 16
The Flood Risk Management (Scotland) Act 2009 had been brought in to improve the assessment and sustainable management of flood risk across Scotland, provide a framework for co-ordination and co-operation between organisations, and provide a revised statutory process for flood protection schemes. The Act placed duties upon the Council as a Responsible Authority and provided the Council with additional powers to carry out those duties. Details of those duties and powers were provided in the report. Information was also provided on:- the National Flood Risk Assessment (NFRA) updated by SEPA in 2018 (the 2025 NFRA data would be available from spring 2026) and the locations identified as Potentially Vulnerable Areas (PVAs) Local Flood Risk Management Plans Scotland’s National Flood Resilience Strategy (2024) the findings and recommendations of Audit Scotland’s flooding in communities audit carried out in August 2025 examples of the Council’s response and priorities in terms of the duties placed upon it by the Flood Risk Management (Scotland) Act 2009 in relation to:- mapping, assessing and clearing watercourses maintaining existing drainage infrastructure its ‘Managing Flood Risk’ procedure watercourse telemetry equipment development management flood studies and surface water management plans flood protection works/schemes Details of key priority areas and projects which had had been delivered or were being progressed and/or reviewed were provided in Appendix 1 to the report. The Head of Roads, Transportation and Fleet Services responded to a member’s question on an aspect of the report and undertook to provide members with an FRM online workshop in the spring or summer 2026. The Committee decided: that the contents of the report be noted. Councillor Watson left and rejoined the meeting during this item of business 17 Active Travel Schemes in South Lanarkshire A report dated 17 February 2026 by the Executive Director (Community and Enterprise Resources) was submitted on Active Travel Schemes in South Lanarkshire. South Lanarkshire Council approved a motion at its meeting held on 1 October 2025 declaring a climate emergency. The motion referred to the serious and immediate threat of climate change and the need to accelerate the pace of delivering action. As part of the final motion, a request was made for a report to be submitted to Committee providing an update on active travel investment and its effectiveness to allow for further scrutiny. Encouraging people to walk, wheel and cycle for everyday journeys was essential to achieving the goals of several key policies including the National Transport Strategy, National Planning Framework 4 (NPF4), Strathclyde Partnership for Transport’s (SPT) Regional Transport Strategy for the West of Scotland 2023 to 2038, South Lanarkshire Local Development Plan 2 (SLLDP2) and the draft Local Transport Strategy 2026 to 2036. 16
Page 17
To provide a focus for the development of active travel infrastructure, the Council had prepared Active Travel Studies for all major settlements in South Lanarkshire. Engagement with residents, elected members and stakeholders informed the development of those studies, through questionnaire surveys, workshops and online mapping for location-based comments. Feedback from residents and stakeholders frequently highlighted the need for dedicated cycle routes, safer crossings and speed reduction measures to encourage more active travel. Those engagement activities, along with analysis of journey origins and attractors and with reference to the latest best practice design guidance, informed the development of aspirational and coherent active travel network plans for each area. Those plans included priorities for route implementation. In 2024/2025, Transport Scotland introduced a new tiered model for funding active travel delivery in Scotland. The Active Travel Infrastructure Fund (ATIF) was now the primary vehicle for the Scottish Government to fund active travel infrastructure.

[Reference: Minutes of South Lanarkshire Council of 1 October 2025 (Paragraph 8)] 18 Bereavement Services Update A report dated 25 February 2026 by the Executive Director (Community and Enterprise Resources) was submitted providing an update on:- legislative changes impacting on Bereavement Services the Bereavement Services Strategy The key piece of legislation governing the Bereavement Service was the Burial and Cremation (Scotland) Act 2016 which was passed by the Scottish Parliament on 22 March 2016 and received Royal Assent on 28 April 2016. 17
Page 18
A working group, led by the Scottish Government, had been formed in July 2016 to work on the regulations of the Act. Priority had been given to implementing Part 2 (Cremation) of the Act and resulted in the Cremation (Scotland) Regulations 2019 being introduced from 4 April 2019. The Covid-19 pandemic had delayed progress, however, The Burial (Management) (Scotland) Regulations 2025 and the Burial and Cremation (Inspection) (Scotland) Regulations 2025 were approved by the Scottish Parliament on 8 January 2025. Furthermore, The Burial and Cremation (Applications and Registers) (Miscellaneous Amendment) (Scotland) Regulations 2025 had come into force on 2 March 2026. The Regulations amended the Cremation (Scotland) Regulations 2019 and the Burial (Applications and Register) (Scotland) Regulations 2024. To support The Burial and Cremation (Inspection) (Scotland) Regulations 2025, a Funeral Sector Register (“the Register”) had been introduced on 1 April 2025 which would act as a single point of information about the funeral sector in Scotland and granted powers to Funeral Sector Inspectors to undertake inspections to ensure compliance with relevant legislation and requirements. Sections 14 and 16 of the Burial and Cremation (Scotland) Act 2016, which had come into force on 1 March 2026, addressed the duration of burial rights and the implications for residents who purchased lairs. The implications for the Council in terms of how it managed lairs were detailed in the report. By way of an update on the Bereavement Services Strategy, which was approved by the Executive Committee at its meeting held on 26 June 2024, information was provided on:- the uptake of direct cremations and simple service cremations actions taken to:- identify lairs previously unused within existing cemetery boundaries maximise land use within existing cemetery boundaries develop a plan to reclaim burial ground where the right of burial had been purchased but had not been exercised the benefits that would result from the Services’ transition to a cloud-based IT system Officers responded to members’ questions in relation to various aspects of the report and the Executive Director undertook to submit reports to future meetings of the Committee on the outcomes of the 5-yearly reviews of cemetery provision and capacity, with the next review due to be undertaken in 2028. The Committee decided: (1) that the legislative changes within the Burial and Cremation (Scotland) 2016 Act and The Burial (Management) (Scotland) Regulations 2025, outlined in section 4 of the report, be noted; and (2) that the progress of the Bereavement Services Strategy, outlined in section 5 of the report, be noted.

The overall summary of progress to date is set out in the table below:- Status Measures Statistical Project Total % Blue - 12 12 20% Green 15 22 37 61.7% Amber 3 5 8 13.3% Red 1 - 1 1.7% Report later/Contextual 2 - 2 3.3% Totals 21 39 60 100% (Data correct as at 29-04-2026) 5.3. Key achievements for 2025/2026, to date, are noted below:- 5.3.1. Connect Outcome Communities and Environment Resource Outcome Achievement High-quality streets, parks and other public areas ensure South Lanarkshire is a place where people want to live, work, visit and invest The percentage of streets found to be acceptable during Litter Monitoring Systems Surveys carried out over 2025/2026 was 93.9%. This is better than the annual target of 92% and is better than performance over the previous three years. Communities are encouraged and supported to reduce, re-use and recycle their waste The Waste Services review was completed and the percentage of household waste sent to landfill in the calendar year January to December 2025 was 1.17%, well within the target to be below 5%. 30
Page 31
Connect Outcome Communities and Environment Resource Outcome Achievement Communities are well connected There was an increase of 11.61% in the percentage of properties with full fibre connection during 2025/2026, bringing the percentage of properties up to 70.48%, compared with the 2024-25 figure (58.87%) The Council addresses climate change by reducing carbon emissions, protecting our natural environment, adapting to the impacts of climate change, and acting sustainably Work is continuing on the regional collaboration initiative to expand and enhance vehicle charging infrastructure across the west. A consultant has been appointed to project manage the next phase and to prepare tender documentation. As part of the preparations for the South Lanarkshire Local Development Plan 3 (LDP3), the Evidence Report was presented to Executive Committee in November 2025 and South Lanarkshire Council in December 2025. The Report was submitted to Scottish Ministers in December 2025. All roads, footways, cycle routes, bridges and associated infrastructure are safe and fit for purpose Across our capital programme, the number of road safety schemes that have been delivered exceeded the number scheduled, with 112 schemes (87 carriageway/25 footway) completed. A programme of bridge and other structure projects have been completed, including works at Bothwell Bridge and Duke Street Multi Storey Car Park, both Hamilton, Millheugh Bridge, Larkhall, and Elvanfoot Bridge.

Connect Outcome Our Economy Resource Outcome Achievement Thriving town and neighbourhood centres provide a focal point for local communities East Kilbride Masterplan project is progressing at pace with a number of parallel workstreams being progressed and regular reports to committee on behalf of the Project Board: demolition contractor appointed and on site; enabling works commenced with new access routes fully in place; Planning Permission in Principle approved; detailed design of Civic Heart element, including a new Town Hall, progressing; and a two-stage design and build procurement route being taken forward. Hamilton Masterplan key milestones include: project managers appointed for delivery of the Hamilton Masterplan; former Bairds Department Store returned to Council ownership; New Cross Centre now vacant, and work ongoing towards demolition and development proposals; demolition of former Vogue Bingo Hall; and confirmation that the Pride in Place application for Hamilton Town Centre has been successful and an award of up to £20m (Capital and Revenue) made to support eligible activity. 5.3.2. In addition to working towards these Outcomes, it is recognised that the Council will continually aim to improve and ensure effective and efficient use of resources, and that business will be conducted with integrity and transparency and will operate to the highest standards. In order to monitor and report progress against these values, Resource outcomes have also been identified under the heading Delivering the Plan and achieving Best Value. Delivering the Plan and achieving Best Value Resource Objective Achievement Customers experience high quality and improving council services A programme of projects to deliver the Frontline First Fund was identified across South Lanarkshire. These works included environmental improvements to local landscaping where older shrub beds have been removed and changed over to grass areas for easier maintenance, and clearance of weeds on overgrown footpaths to present cleaner, safer footpaths for people to use. 5.4. Areas for Improvement Measures that have been classified as ‘red’ (major slippage against timescale or shortfall against target) are noted below, together with the reason why, and the management action now being taken, where applicable. 33

Communities and Environment Resource Outcome: Communities are encouraged and supported to reduce, re- use and recycle their waste Measure Comments/Progress Action by Manager (where applicable) Percentage of total household waste that is recycled in the calendar year 2025 This measure is reported per calendar year, so the figure, 40.63% relates to the period January to December 2025. The recycling rate is lower than that reported for the same period in 2024 (41.83%). However, it is still below the target 50%. Chargeable garden waste permits were introduced in April 2025 and one of the known risks associated with the scheme was reduction in the amount of organic waste collected for recycling (composting). However, the garden waste permit scheme is just one factor affecting the recycling rate. In June 2025, issues with the Council's bulky waste treatment contractor meant that waste that had been previously recycled needed to be sent to landfill until a new contract was awarded. The new contract commenced on 1 October 2025 and the service continues to monitor the contract performance and its impact on waste statistics. 5.5. Scrutiny of Change in Measure Status 5.5.1. A further analysis introduced to aid scrutiny of performance, is to highlight and explain all measures that have changed status from Quarter 2 to Quarter 4. On analysis of these, three measures show a decline in performance between Quarter 2 and Quarter 4. Details of these measures are included at Appendix 3. The remaining measures under scrutiny changed from Amber/Report later to Green or Green/Report later to Blue (complete) and need no further action. 5.5.2. It should be noted that the measures with a ‘report later’ status, as detailed in Appendix 3, will be followed up and reported on in the 2026-27 Quarter 2 CER progress report. 6. Employee Implications 6.1. The outcomes noted within the Resource Plan will inform the Service Action Plans, where applicable, and in turn the Performance Appraisal process for individual employees. 6.2. Absence statistics are monitored and reported through the Council-wide workforce monitoring report which is presented to each Resource Committee and the Employees Issues Forum. 34
Page 35
7. Financial Implications 7.1. The outcomes within the Resource Plan are reflected in the respective annual Resource Revenue and Capital budgets and, longer term, within the framework of the Council’s approved Financial Strategy. 8.

The recycling rate is lower than that reported for the same period in 2024 (41.83%). Chargeable garden waste permits were introduced in April 2025 and one of the known risks associated with the scheme was reduction in the amount of organic waste collected for recycling (composting). However, the garden waste permit scheme is just one factor affecting the recycling rate. In June 2025, issues with the council's bulky waste treatment contractor meant that waste that had been previously recycled needed to be sent to landfill until a new contract was awarded. The new contract commenced on 1 October 2025 and the service continues to monitor the contract performance and its impact on waste statistics. Red 50.00% 40.63% 41.20% 43.75% 41.80% Percentage of household waste sent to landfill in the calendar year 2025 This measure is reported per calendar year, and the latest figures (1.17%) relate to the period from January to December 2025.

These figures demonstrate a significant upturn in performance in quarter four, but also shows that the targets have not been met. The latest figures highlight the ongoing uncertainty facing Scotland’s SME base, with confidence remaining fragile and growth continuing to weaken. A combination of structural pressures and wider economic headwinds is constraining performance across the sector. Key contributing factors include: - Rising input, energy, and operational costs - Weak consumer demand and slowing economic momentum - Global instability and international trade disruptions - Inflation driven wage and cost pressures - Persistent supply chain challenges and ongoing post Brexit adjustments We are continuing to embed the services of the Business Gateway into the business facing services that South Lanarkshire deliver, for example Planning, and Environmental Health. In addition to this, we will be offering in 2026-27 a more generous suite of business support grants that will increase referrals to the Business Gateway. Amber Page 23 60

Appendix 3 Community and Enterprise Resource Plan: Quarter 2 to Quarter 4 2025/2026 - scrutiny of change in measure status Measure Q2 Status Q4 Status Q4 Comments Performance has declined from Q2 to Q4 Percentage of total household waste that is recycled in the calendar year Amber Red This measure is reported per calendar year, so the figure shown (40.63%) relates to the period January to December 2025. The recycling rate is lower than that reported for the same period in 2024 (41.83%) and the target 50%. Chargeable garden waste permits were introduced in April 2025 and one of the known risks associated with the scheme was reduction in the amount of organic waste collected for recycling (composting). However, the garden waste permit scheme is just one factor affecting the recycling rate. In June 2025, issues with the council's bulky waste treatment contractor meant that waste that had been previously recycled needed to be sent to landfill until a new contract was awarded. The new contract commenced on 1 October 2025, and the service continues to monitor the contract performance and its impact on waste statistics Percentage of U class roads that should be considered for maintenance treatment (Roads Condition Report Later Amber This figure is derived from The Scottish Collaboration of Transportation Specialists (SCOTS) Road Condition Index (RCI) survey which is undertaken each year. The target of 32.4% for 2024-26 is based on the results for the period 2023-25. The actual figure for 2024-26 of 32.9% indicates a slight regression of 0.5% in our Unclassified road network, based on the current survey results and sections of roads surveyed. Work with Business Gateway (BG) to deliver on the revised Business Gateway delivery targets providing an annual progress report to Community and Enterprise Committee in August 2025 Green Amber The report was presented to Community and Enterprise Resources Committee in October 2025 and in March 2026. These figures demonstrate a significant upturn in performance in quarter four but also shows that the targets have not been met. The latest figures highlight the ongoing uncertainty facing Scotland’s SME base, with confidence remaining fragile and growth continuing to weaken. A combination of structural pressures and wider economic headwinds is constraining performance across the sector. Key contributing factors include: - Rising input, energy, and operational costs- Weak consumer demand and slowing economic momentum 4 67

Section One – Introduction I am pleased to introduce our Resource Plan for 2026-27 which sets out our intended outcomes and priorities for the coming year. This is the main annual business planning document for the resource. It reflects the council’s key priorities as set out in the Council Plan ‘Connect’ and provides an overview of the resource’s main areas of activity. Our resource comprises the following four service areas – facilities, waste and grounds services; roads, transportation and fleet services; planning and regulatory services; and enterprise and sustainable development services. The resource employs 4,039 people who together provide a wide range of services for local communities, including: • delivering key services within schools and council premises, including cleaning, catering, receptionist, janitorial, concierge, and crossing patrol services • keeping our streets clean and maintaining and developing public parks, open spaces, tree stock, fixed play areas, sports fields, golf courses, allotments, and food growing opportunities • collecting and disposing of waste and encouraging recycling • managing and maintaining the council’s cemeteries and crematorium, providing bereavement services, and ensuring the provision of burial ground • maintaining, improving and developing our roads and transportation network to support safe and effective transport, and promoting active travel • procuring and managing the council’s vehicle fleet, including refuse collection, roads maintenance, street sweeping and passenger transport • providing planning and building standard services which guide and control physical development and land use in the area, ensure the health and safety of persons in or about buildings, ensure the conservation of energy and the achievement of sustainable development • protecting public health through the delivery of environmental health services • providing trading standards to protect consumers and communities • promoting economic development and delivering support for local businesses • delivering effective employability services to support individuals and business • supporting town centres and physical regeneration, and • leading the council in developing and promoting sustainability, supporting the transition to a net zero carbon economy, and addressing climate change. The resource also has a significant role to play in managing the relationship between the council and South Lanarkshire Leisure and Culture (SLLC). SLLC deliver leisure and cultural services on behalf of the council and promote the health and wellbeing of South Lanarkshire residents through libraries, cultural venues, museum, arts centres, indoor and outdoor sports and leisure centres, community halls and country parks. The Resource Plan is an important element of the council’s performance management arrangements and is complemented by individual service plans and other key business plans and strategies. During 2026-27, service teams will continue to be involved in a series of reviews which will inform how our services are shaped and delivered in the future.

Section Two – Key areas of focus for the year ahead 2.0. Overview The resource has identified the main challenges, risks and new developments which will have significant impact on the delivery of services in the coming year. These are outlined briefly below. 2.1. Local Development Plan (LDP) The council has a statutory duty to prepare a Local Development Plan for all parts of its area. Preparation of the council’s third LDP (LDP3) has recently started. It will address the spatial implications of national planning policy, National Planning Framework 4 (NPF4), for different places at a council-wide level. The focus of the plan will be to address challenges, including the climate and nature emergencies, the embedding of sustainable development principles in decision making, tackling poverty and disadvantage and health inequalities and embedding the principles of Local Living through the identification and maintenance of 20-minute neighbourhoods. The plan will be place-based with the Place Principle providing the policy context to ensure a participative approach to the future planning of places, services and infrastructure through partnership working with council services, transport providers, local communities, and health and education providers. The plan will be people-centred so that it meets the needs and aspirations of people and communities. Extensive engagement will continue to be carried out with stakeholders, partners and local communities so that the plan is prepared collaboratively taking into account a diverse range of views. The LDP will support decisions to invest in places by identifying priorities and focussing on the delivery of outcomes by drawing together all the council’s strategies, plans and the objectives of the Council Plan, Connect, as well of those of its partners and other stakeholders. The LDP must take account of the council’s Community Plan. The plan will take an infrastructure first approach so that an understanding of existing capacity and the requirement for new or improved infrastructure (including schools and health and social care provision) is an integral part of the plan process, and this will inform the site selection process. New development will be directed to the right locations and will be expected to meet the principles of placemaking. LDP3 will include a Delivery Programme which will set out how the council will implement the plan and provide certainty for local communities and partners. The plan will be a key driver for delivering on the main areas of focus, for example by ensuring there is sufficient employment land to achieve inclusive economic growth goals and creating a land use framework for the regeneration of our town centres. At a council wide level, the plan will continue to identify opportunities to deliver the council’s affordable housing programme and reflect the outcomes of the review of the Strategic Commissioning Plan. Access to good quality greenspace and safe and accessible active travel routes are also a key priority for the resource, encouraging physical exercise and improving the wellbeing of 76
Page 77
our communities. The continuing preparation of the council’s Open Space Strategy will contribute to achieving these aims. The focus for 2026-27 is the completion of the Evidence Report which will inform the spatial strategy for LDP3. Extensive collaboration has taken place with other services and partners in terms of data gathering and assessment and the carrying out of engagement. The implementation of changes to the Building Regulations in 2024 in relation to the energy performance of buildings will also be a focus for 2026-27. 2.2. Tackling inequality and poverty The council recognises the financial pressures being faced by households across South Lanarkshire and acknowledges the additional demands on council services as a result. The council has in place a range of support which can help households manage the effects of these financial pressures, and services will continue to provide support to the most vulnerable in the year ahead. Within this, South Lanarkshire Council is participating in the Collaboration for Health Equity in Scotland, as one of three pilot Marmot Place programme sites. The focus for the local programme is tackling early years and child poverty, and the programme builds on existing local work to tackle inequality and to improve the health and wellbeing of communities. The programme will help all of our Resources better understand poverty in South Lanarkshire and take action to mitigate the impact of inequality on people’s lives. 2.3. Economic development and renewal The UK, Scottish, Glasgow City Region and South Lanarkshire economies are all facing real challenges, such as our country’s new international trading position, and the climate emergency, all of which impact our lives now and in the foreseeable future. Economic recovery in South Lanarkshire is incorporating the principles of community wealth building and is framed around three key themes of sustainable development: People, Place and Business (or social, physical, and economic regeneration). These themes align council and pan-Lanarkshire activity with local, national and regional strategies, delivering the collaborative approach required to achieve sustainable and inclusive economic growth. The South Lanarkshire Economic Strategy (2022-27) sets out the key priorities and actions for the council and aims “to make South Lanarkshire a flourishing, green, dynamic and equitable place for all”. Working in partnership with North Lanarkshire Council, the delivery of the Business Gateway Service is being delivered ‘in-house’ providing a more customer focused service, rather than the previous target driven delivery model, leading to better outcomes for businesses and the economy. All referrals for business advice are referred directly to the Business Gateway, and they are the public facing organisation for business support within South Lanarkshire. Town centre regeneration Town centres retain a key role at the heart of our communities as a focal point for retail, business, culture, leisure and social interaction. Our town centres remain a council priority, and we are working across all our towns to manage change to allow our towns centres to serve the evolving needs of communities in the future. The way in which we support each town varies depending on the specific challenges, ranging from large multi-year transformational masterplans in East Kilbride and Hamilton, which have been formally adopted by the council, to smaller local interventions linking to local priorities and Community Wealth Building priorities. 77

2.4. External Funding UK Government Shared Prosperity Funding (UKSPF) Over 2022 to March 2026, the council has delivered £16m of programmes using the UKSPF which has supported employability programmes, business support and infrastructure improvements across South Lanarkshire. 2026/27 will be a transition year from UKSPF to the New Local Growth Fund which will focus on a regional approach to activity. In addition, in December 2025, the UK Government confirmed that Hamilton Town Centre would be one of 12 locations in Scotland receiving £2m per year over 10 years through the Pride in Place Phase 2 Programme. Levelling Up Fund Two projects have been awarded funding by the UK Government Levelling Up Fund. These are the Clydesdale Way (awarded £6.8 million of grant as part of the cross-council border Three Rivers Active Tourism project) and Shawfield Remediation (awarded £14.6m) for Clyde Gateway URC to progress decontamination and redevelopment of the Shawfield area. These projects will continue to be progressed in 2026-27, with completion in line with the requirements set by the UK Government. Pride in Place programme South Lanarkshire Council has received an award from the UK Government’s Pride in Place Programme which is aimed at building stronger communities, creating thriving places and empowering people. The award is £20m over a 10-year period. The council made six submissions to the UK Government for the identification of the locality for the award, based on the highest deprivation levels and the weakest social infrastructure. In December 2025, Hamilton Town Centre was selected as the Pride in Place locality within South Lanarkshire and during 2026/27 the Council will work to appoint an independent chair and neighbourhood board who will then develop an action plan for investment over the next 10 years. 2.5. Glasgow City Region City Deal As part of the City Deal, the resource has been leading the delivery of three major transportation projects to boost South Lanarkshire’s access to the rest of Scotland. In addition, several significant network improvements are progressing to promote and accelerate new development in key strategic areas. The Cathkin Relief Road in Rutherglen / Cambuslang and the Greenhills Road / Strathaven Road project in East Kilbride, are now complete. The upgrade of key junctions at A723 Gateside Street / Johnstone Road and A723 Strathaven Road / Mill Road, in Hamilton, are also now complete. Proposals in relation to Stewartfield Way and East Kilbride Town Centre are progressing and being developed through the preparation of the Business Cases. Other school and transportation projects are being progressed by the resource in support of the various Community Growth Areas across South Lanarkshire. 2.6. Deliver effective employability services to support Individuals and business South Lanarkshire Works will continue to deliver a range of employability programmes to meet the needs of key priority groups and employers and support South Lanarkshire residents into sustainable employment. 78
Page 79
A key focus of the 2026-27 Annual Investment Plan, which is developed and agreed with the South Lanarkshire Employability Partnership (SLEP), is to continue to deliver specialist employability support to participants with learning disabilities and other long-term health conditions. Specialist employability support involves long-term and intensive keyworker-based support, with significant in-work aftercare to support sustainable employment outcomes. The Annual Investment Plan will also continue to include support for parents to progress to employment as a key priority. The Demonstrator programme will provide flexible, part-time waged work-placement options for targeted parents as part of their journey to employment. The Supporting Families programme, which involves working in partnership with primary schools and early years centres to provide early-stage employability and health and wellbeing support will continue to be rolled out to new priority localities. 2.7. Sustainable development and climate change (SDCC) The council acknowledges the serious and immediate threat of climate change and is committed to accelerating the pace of action, in response to the climate emergency and in Scotland’s transition to a net-zero and climate resilient society and economy. It is expected that, as a public body, the council leads by example and uses its role to influence area-wide climate change action and sustainability. The Sustainable Development and Climate Change Strategy 2022 – 2027 and action plan sets out how the council aims to develop sustainably and tackle climate change. The council supports the delivery of Climate Ready Clyde’s Adaptation Strategy and action plan which seeks to transform Glasgow City region to adapt to the climate challenge and ensure everyone benefits from doing so. The council is also responsible for submitting annual Public Bodies Climate Change Duties reports, which detail progress made by the council in delivering against its duties, as set out in the Climate Change (Scotland) Act 2009. The publication of new statutory guidance for public bodies implementing climate change duties under the Climate Change (Scotland) Act 2009 will influence the delivery of the council’s work in implementing the duties. The guidance aims to help public bodies to minimise their operational emissions, adapt and become resilient to the current and future impacts of the changing climate, live within environmental limits and ensure a strong, healthy and just society. Sustainable development and climate change work carried out by the council seeks to mitigate the following two top council risks: • inability to take the necessary action due to funding constraints, to combat climate change, and work toward achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2045, thereby contributing to negative and irreversible environmental, social and economic impacts on the council and its residents; and • inability of the council to manage the impacts that increasing frequency and intensity of adverse weather events such as floods, storms, cold and freezing conditions and extreme heat, water shortages and wildfires has on council services, budgets and our communities. 2.8. Circular economy The Circular Economy (Scotland) Act 2024 sets out requirements for the following: a Circular Economy Strategy; Circular Economy targets; legislation aimed at reducing waste; increases in penalties for littering from vehicles; legislation to enhance duty of care responsibilities for households and businesses; and legislation to improve waste monitoring. These measures will underpin and complement Scotland’s Circular Economy and Waste Route Map. The measures in the Waste Route Map are grouped under four strategic aims: 79
Page 80
• reduction and reuse • modernising recycling • decarbonising disposal and • strengthening the circular economy It sets out the strategic direction for waste management in Scotland until 2030, based on responsible production, responsible consumption, and maximising value from waste and energy. In addition to the priority actions for each of the strategic arms, the Scottish Government will seek to progress further, as yet unknown, actions between now and 2030. 2.9. Local Transport Strategy (LTS) Consultation on the draft LTS was completed and the finalised draft document was presented to Committee for approval in March 2026. The new LTS will be an ambitious and forward-thinking strategy that sets out a strategic vision and objectives, alongside proposals for a ten-year Action Plan. It will be used to guide the transport actions and priorities of the council and will also be used to influence the actions of a range of partner organisations who deliver aspects of transport within South Lanarkshire. Main themes of the strategy will include reference to maintenance and asset management, road safety, the economy, sustainable and public transport, the environment, inclusive mobility, spatial planning as well as the use of technology. Plans for implementation of actions and monitoring will also be included. The LTS dovetails with Strathclyde Partnership for Transport’s Regional Transport Strategy. Several LTS themes are highlighted within that document relating to public transport, managing travel needs, active travel, integration of travel, road safety, sustainable travel, climate resilience, environment and connecting places. Finally, the LTS links with the National Transport Strategy which sets outs various priorities and themes. These NTS priorities look to reduce inequalities, take climate action, help deliver inclusive economic growth and improve our health and wellbeing, as well as those relating to public transport, managing travel needs, active travel, integration of travel, road safety, sustainable travel, climate resilience, environment and connecting places. 2.10. Health and wellbeing This is a cross-cutting theme within Community and Enterprise Resources and covers a wide range of activities, from promoting healthy eating (via the provision of school meals), to the positive contribution that our partner, South Lanarkshire Leisure and Culture (SLLC), makes in ensuring inclusive access to sport, leisure and culture across our communities. Community and Enterprise Resources will assist SLLC in the provision of these services by continuing to oversee capital investment in the council’s leisure and culture facilities: the new build of Larkhall Leisure Centre over the next two years will be a major project for the Resource. The environmental health service promotes health protection practices and regulates public health across South Lanarkshire. 2.11. Free school meals roll out The Scottish Government have identified resource funding to cover food costs which will help to implement, and evaluate, a new Test of Change phase of the Free School Meals (FSM) programme. This aims to provide meals to some pupils whose families are in receipt of Scottish Child payment in S1 to S3. The Test of Change is currently being piloted in eight local authority areas and South Lanarkshire is one of the successful authorities chosen to participate. In South Lanarkshire, four secondary schools across different geographical areas that have high free school meal eligibility rates were chosen to take part. The Test of Change phase of the free 80
Page 81
school meals roll out started in August 2025 and will run until July 2026. There is no certainty that this pilot will extend beyond July 2026. 3.0. Legislative and policy changes New and revised legislation will also impact on the work of the resource during 2026-27, including: • Climate Change Act (2019) – Whilst not new legislation, the Climate Change Act (2019) continues to impact on the council’s activities and commits Scotland to net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2045. The Climate Change (Scotland) Act states that a public body must: − contribute to the delivery of Scotland’s national emissions reduction targets − help deliver Scotland’s statutory climate change adaptation programme, and − act in a way that it considers is most sustainable In November 2024, the Scottish Parliament passed the Climate Change (Emissions Reduction Targets) (Scotland) Act 2024 which modifies the greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets within previous climate change legislation. The Act was introduced following advice from the Climate Change Committee (CCC) that advised that the previous 2030 interim target was unachievable. It replaces Scotland's previous system of annual and interim greenhouse gas emissions targets with a framework of five-year carbon budgets to set limits on emissions over these periods. The new carbon budget system offers a more stable and reliable method for tracking progress towards national emissions reduction goals. • Transport (Scotland) Act 2019 - This act is designed to help make Scotland’s transport network cleaner, smarter and more accessible. The Act deals with a number of issues including, Prohibition of Pavement Parking, Bus Services, Roadworks, Workplace Parking and Low Emission Zones. − Pavement parking A key provision of the Act is to prohibit the parking of vehicles on pavements, prohibit double parking and prohibit parking adjacent to dropped footways. The council commenced enforcement of pavement parking in January 2025 and is moving towards considering streets for exemption. − Bus services The Act provides local transport authorities with powers to make bus travel more attractive, allowing local transport authorities to run their own bus services; franchise bus services in their areas; or enter into Bus Services Improvement Partnerships (BSIPs) with bus operators within their areas. The Act also introduces new regulations covering the way in which bus operators must provide information to local authorities when they plan to reduce or withdraw the services they provide. Strathclyde Partnership for Transport (SPT) have published their Regional Bus Strategy. SPT are considering next steps in terms of franchising. On completion, this will allow consideration of what opportunities there are for these types of measures as well as the Act’s other section which relates to smart ticketing options. These provisions will have significant employee and financial resourcing issues. − Road works The Act seeks to continually encourage a raise in standards to improve the quality of road works. The key provisions include: additional powers given to the Scottish Road Works Commissioner to strengthen enforcement on non-compliance of legislation in relation to road works with the use of fines and monitoring; a requirement for all undertakers to have a Reinstatement Quality Plan (RQP) in place; and a revised timescale for notifying within 2 hours of the commencement and completion of works. A revised Specification for the Reinstatement of Opening in Roads (SROR) is also now in 81
Page 82
force, increasing the guarantee period for the majority of asphalt reinstatements to 6 years. It should also be noted that the Commissioner has increased on-site monitoring through the introduction of several compliance officers who have been undertaking drive by observations, with a particular focus on roads authorities in the first instance. − 20mph speed limits Scotland’s Road Safety Framework to 2030 is committed to creating a safer, healthier and greener Scotland. It is the council’s aspiration to introduce mandatory 20mph speed limits within residential areas in line with the new Scottish Government policy. A review is concluding on which streets would be suitable for 20mph speed limits and this will be presented to a future committee. Significant resources will be required for the promotion of associated traffic regulation orders and signage. − Other impacts The Transport (Scotland) Act 2019 also enables local authorities to manage vehicle emissions via the establishment of Low Emission Zones (LEZ) and introduce Workplace Parking Charges to influence travel behaviour. However, there are no plans at this time to introduce these in South Lanarkshire. 82

Report Agenda Item Report to: Community and Enterprise Resources Date of Meeting: 2 June 2026 Report by: Executive Director (Community and Enterprise Resources) Subject: 2026/2027 Employability Annual Investment Plan 1. Purpose of Report 1.1. The purpose of the report is to:- [purpose] seek approval of the 2026/2027 Employability Annual Investment Plan [1purpose] 2. Recommendation(s) 2.1. The Committee is asked to approve the following recommendation(s):- [recs] (1) that the 2026/2027 Employability Annual Investment Plan be approved. 3. Background 3.1. The Council delivers and funds a range of employability programmes designed to help residents experiencing barriers to employment to progress to sustainable destinations of employment or further learning. These programmes are funded by a blend of external funding sources supported by core Council budgets. External funding for 2026/2027 includes Scottish Government No-one Left Behind and UK Government Local Growth Fund. 3.2. As a condition of the Scottish Government No-one Left Behind (NOLB) grant, local authorities are required to submit an Annual Investment Plan (AIP) which sets out the Council’s plans for the delivery of all employability programmes including those funded by non-Scottish Government funding streams. These plans are required to be developed and agreed with partners through Local Employability Partnerships (LEPs). This paper provides an outline of the Plan including the key target groups and programmes to be funded. 4. Annual Investment Plan Funding 4.1. The Scottish Government No-one Left Behind grant sets out funding across three priority areas:- all-age support element is designed to provide keyworker support to unemployed and economically inactive young people and adults specialist employability support is designed to provide longer-term support to people experiencing learning disabilities and/or long-term health conditions parental employability support is specifically targeted at unemployed and low- waged parents as part of the Scottish Government’s Tackling Child Poverty Plan 6 99

Table 1 – No-one Left Behind Funding 2026/2027 All age support £2,075,794 Specialist support £283,668 Parental employability support £2,311,482 TCP Co-ordinator £102,000 4.2. The Annual Investment Plan is also supported by Council funding that contributes to staffing resources, UK Government Local Growth funding of £600,000 and other external funding including renewable energy community benefit funds. 4.3. The Scottish Government has confirmed that the Council will also receive £517k additional funding to support parental employability transport. The scope and grant conditions attached to the funding is still to be confirmed by the Scottish Government and further information will be provided to committee in due course. 5. Annual Investment Plan 5.1. The 2026/2027 AIP sets out the South Lanarkshire LEP’s key priority groups, keywork-based programmes and learning and training activity. The Plan has been designed around the Scottish Approach to Employability of:- dignity and respect, fairness and equality and continuous improvement flexible and person-centred support straightforward for people to navigate integrated and aligned with other services provides pathways into sustainable and fair work driven by evidence including data and the experience of users support more people to move into the right job at the right time 5.2. The AIP sets out the partnership’s key priority groups. People from the groups below requiring employability support will have access to a keyworker-based service delivered by either the Council or Routes to Work South (RTWS), the Council’s arms-length external organisation for the delivery of employability services. Table 2 – Key Priority Groups Key Priority Groups Keyworker Service Delivery Funding Source Value Young people aged 15-18 (including in last 6 months of school) Aspire South Lanarkshire Council (SLC) NOLB, Local Growth Fund, Core £1,458,768 Adults with barriers to employment and adults with long term health barriers to employment Gateway to Employment RTWS NOLB, Core £1,400,000 Adults and young people with learning disabilities Supported Employment SLC NOLB, Specialist Employability Support (SES), Core £561,625 100

Unemployed or low waged parents Supporting Families SLC Tackling Child Poverty (TCP), Core £931,276 5.3. All participants engaging on the programmes above have an identified keyworker responsible for supporting them through an individual flexible action plan. As part of that action plan, participants have access to a range of activity, funded through the AIP designed to support their progression to employment. This activity incudes training, confidence building/personal development and health and wellbeing supports.

Table 4 – Work Placement and Waged Opportunities Programme Description Provider Value Demonstrator (Parents) Waged 6-month work placements for parents across the Council, NHS and The State Hospital SLC / NHS £367,635 Project Search One-year work placement for Supported Employment participants delivered in partnership with NHS Lanarkshire, Asda Toryglen and New College Lanarkshire SLC/NHS, New College Lanarkshire, South Lanarkshire College and ASDA £6,000 Work Placements Participants can access work placements with local employers and access a daily training allowance SLC / local employers £65,000 Employer engagement and training In house team will deliver a flexible programme of training, tailored to caseload need and participant demand SLC £483,320 Scottish Childminding Association (SCMA) Funded places for participants to complete the SCMA Programme with aim of becoming self employed childminders SLC/SCMA £5,000 6. Employee Implications 6.1. The 74 Council employees currently in post, are involved in the delivery and management of the programmes set out in the AIP. It is planned that through recruitment and TUPE of a limited number of RTWS staff, as set out in the Transformational Review, this will increase to 85 employees. External funding directly supports 61 of these posts with the remainder supported by Council. 7. Financial Implications 7.1. The external funding of the AIP has reduced in 2026/2027 by £1,112,467 compared to 2025/2026 following the replacement of the UK Government’s Shared Prosperity Fund with the Local Growth Fund. The impact of this reduction has been mitigated by utilising budget carried forward from 2025/2026. Consideration is also being given to secure funding for future years. 102

Report Agenda Item Report to: Community and Enterprise Resource Committee Date of Meeting: 2 June 2026 Report by: Executive Director (Community and Enterprise Resources) Subject: Business Gateway Lanarkshire – 2025/2026 Performance Report 1. Purpose of Report 1.1. The purpose of the report is to:- [purpose] provide an overview of the activities and performance achieved during the 2025/2026 year by Business Gateway Lanarkshire service in South Lanarkshire [1purpose] 2. Recommendation(s) 2.1. The Committee is asked to approve the following recommendation(s):- (1) that the Business Gateway services being delivered in South Lanarkshire be noted; (2) that performance achieved between 1 April 2025 and 31 March 2026 be noted; and (3) that the new Business Gateway service specification and team structure be noted. 3. Background 3.1. Business Gateway (BG) is a nationally branded service which is delivered by individual local authorities to provide free, impartial advice and support to pre-start, new start and existing businesses. 3.2. Business Gateway Lanarkshire is the Council’s primary provider of face-to-face business support to the local small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) base. Although advisers and administrative staff within the in-house model are employees of North Lanarkshire Council, Business Gateway Lanarkshire covers both the North and South Lanarkshire Council areas and is overseen through regular management meetings. South Lanarkshire Council (SLC) is represented at these meetings by the Head of Enterprise and Sustainable Development, the Economic Development Manager and the Business Support Team Leader. 3.3. In addition to the national objectives, the following local priorities and objectives were agreed for 2025/2026 for both South and North Lanarkshire Councils:- increase the reach of Lanarkshire Business Gateway across all communities including a renewed focus and take-up of services from residents from rural communities and priority Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation (SIMD) areas 9 119
Page 120
increase take-up of Lanarkshire Business Gateway services from under- represented groups including long-term unemployed, economically inactive residents, carers, young people, Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME), disabled people and restorative justice/ex-offenders increase focus and take-up of Lanarkshire Business Gateway services from Social Enterprises, employee-owned businesses and co-operatives inspire and increase engagement and take-up of services by young people focussing on enterprise pathways in schools, colleges, University of the West of Scotland (UWS) and youth groups working alongside Economic Development, provide Business Gateway services to key sectors including construction, food and drink, creative industries and tourism delivery of support to town centre businesses to support South Lanarkshire town centre action plans increase engagement with non-engaged business and those who require additional support to survive 4. Performance 4.1. Enquiries 4.1.1. Clients typically access the Business Gateway via the following routes with a follow up call from an adviser within 3 working days:- Business Gateway National Web Site Enquiry Fulfilment and Research Service Local Contact 4.1.2. Business Gateway Enquiry Performance in 2025/2026:- Service Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Total Target % to Target Total Enquiries 372 373 275 426 1446 1500 96.4% Pre/New Start 256 289 171 270 986 1000 98.6% Existing Business 116 102 104 154 476 500 95.2% 4.1.3. Enquiry levels overall for the year 2025/2026 increased by 115 from the previous year; driven by the prestart/new business sector. The proportion of pre-start/new business enquiries to existing business is in line with the expected norm of a 2/3 to 1/3 split. 4.1.4 While these figures represent a strong overall performance, demand for Business Gateway support is expected to increase significantly in future periods as a direct result of increased grant interventions. South Lanarkshire Council has introduced a more generous Business Growth Grant, alongside the launch of a new Start‑up Grant and a grant to support the retrofitting of industrial premises. 4.1.5 These new and enhanced funding programmes are anticipated to generate increased interest from both start‑up and established businesses. As all grant applicants will be required to engage with a Business Gateway adviser prior to submitting an application, this will directly drive higher enquiry volumes and increase adviser workload. This requirement will also help improve the quality and readiness of grant applications, ensuring applicants are better prepared and that public investment supports sustainable business growth and wider economic development objectives. 120
Page 121
4.1.6. Efforts will also continue to further embed the Business Gateway service across business‑facing departments within the Council. This will help ensure mutual understanding of the respective roles, remit and support offered, while improving awareness of how businesses interact with different Council services at various stages of their development. 4.1.7 Strengthening these internal relationships will support the establishment of clearer and more consistent referral pathways between services, enabling businesses to be directed to the most appropriate support at the right time. This joined‑up approach will help reduce duplication, improve the customer experience, and ensure that businesses receive coordinated and effective support aligned with wider economic development objectives. 4.2. Business Start Up Service 4.2.1. Prior to being allocated a dedicated business adviser, pre-start clients are encouraged to complete a Planning to Start review. This provides an overview of the stage the individual is at within their start-up journey and enables a more informed and focused initial engagement with an adviser. The review also supports the development of a tailored action plan and allows advisers to identify potential early-stage growth businesses. Where appropriate, clients may be classified as pre-start plus, enabling more intensive support to be provided. 4.2.2. Once a pre-start client commences trading, the business is classified as either a New Business or, if it has growth potential (Hiring a team member, taking on a premises and/or achieving the VAT threshold) as New Business Plus, with ongoing support being provided during the first 12 months of trading. 4.2.3. Business Start Up Performance in 2025/2026:- Service Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Total Target % to Target New Business Starts 62 76 62 63 263 375 70.1% New Business Plus Starts 13 11 8 6 38 40 95.0% 4.2.4. While the number of customers supported to start a business remained strong, the 263 new business starts recorded during the period fell short of the target of 375. This shortfall can be attributed to a reduction in available resource within the team of eight business advisers due to a staff vacancy and sickness. Despite these capacity challenges, the conversion rate from enquiry to business start remained consistent with the previous year at 1:3, reflecting a year-on-year improvement from 1:4. 4.2.5. Targeted outreach activity, including the use of pop-up display stands and printed materials within colleges and Jobcentres, attendance at job fairs, and participation in local community engagement events, has been effective during the reporting period. 4.2.6. Looking ahead, the introduction of Community Champions is expected to further strengthen and expand engagement pathways, particularly among under-represented groups. This work is supported through close collaboration with key delivery partners, including The King’s Trust, DWP, Routes to Work (North and South), and local colleges. Joint working with these partners has contributed to increased levels of engagement and business start-ups. 4.2.7. In terms of comparison of performance with North Lanarkshire Council, they successfully met the targets which was due to North Lanarkshire Council offering a significantly more generous business grant during this period. Additionally, they adopted an approach of mandating engagement with Business Gateway advisers as 121
Page 122
part of the grant application process, which has had a positive impact on referrals. Looking ahead, South Lanarkshire Council, as a part of the 2026/27 approved budget, now has a more generous grant offering in place, which is expected to have a positive effect on Business Gateway referrals going forward. The Council is also mandating engagement with Business Gateway as part of any grant application. 4.3. Existing Business Services 4.3.1. Businesses which have been trading for more than 12 months are regarded as an existing business and are classified in one of the following three ways:- Business Gateway Growth – A business with plans to increase turnover by a minimum of £200,000 within 3 years Local Priority – A business that needs assistance to survive or achieve modest growth and which satisfies local priority criteria – set by North and South Lanarkshire Councils Business Base – Any business that does not satisfy the above criteria but can still access one to one adviser support 4.3.2. Existing Business Service Performance in 2025/2026:- Service Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Total Target % to Target Business Base 106 73 96 143 418 375 111.5% Local Priority 5 5 10 30 50 50 100.0% Business Gateway Growth 11 18 11 13 53 75 70.6% 4.3.3. Overall performance was mixed. The Business Base measure exceeded its annual target, delivering 418 against a target of 375 (111.5%). Performance built progressively across the year, peaking in Quarter 4 with 143 businesses supported. This was driven by targeted marketing activity aimed at re-engaging lapsed businesses within the Council’s database, linked to the final promotion of business support. Performance against the Local Priority measure also met the annual target, underpinned by strong delivery in Quarters 3 and 4. 4.3.4 Business Growth Categorisations, however, fell short of target, achieving 53 against a target of 75 (70.6%). Delivery was relatively consistent across quarters, with the shortfall attributable to reduced adviser capacity resulting from staff illness. The Business Growth categorisation can only be supported by a senior Business Gateway adviser due to the potentially complex nature of the support required which was impacted by long term illness. Business base is all businesses referrals that do not come under any other specific category. Case Study 4.3.5. Strachan and Kemp is an established East Kilbride based business specialising in specialist high-pressure cleaning services, working across complex and challenging environments such as swimming pools, glass-domed sports facilities and other large internal spaces. Within the last year, the business has benefited from tailored 1:1 support from Business Gateway Lanarkshire through a Senior Business Adviser. As the company moved onto a strong growth trajectory, the adviser worked closely with the management team to develop a clear growth strategy and support a restructure of the business to ensure it was well positioned to deliver its expansion plans. 4.3.6 During the same period, Business Gateway Lanarkshire also connected Strachan and Kemp with expert procurement consultancy to support their registration on Public Contracts Scotland, enabling the business to begin tendering for public sector 122
Page 123
contracts for the first time. In addition, the adviser signposted and supported the company to successfully secure £5,000 from the Council’s Growth Grant. This funding was used to invest in a specialist high-pressure cleaning machine, allowing the business to expand its service offering to include complex internal environments such as glass-domed tennis courts and swimming pools. This coordinated package of strategic advice, specialist expertise and financial support highlights the positive impact of Business Gateway Lanarkshire’s services in helping established businesses grow and diversify. 4.4. Quality Assurance 4.4.1. The quality of Business Gateway service delivery is monitored nationally by Business Gateway National through an independent research organisation. Customers who have engaged with the service are invited to complete a follow-up survey within two weeks, providing feedback across six satisfaction criteria. 4.4.2 Results are measured against a national target of 80% positive responses. As response rates currently represent fewer than 5% of service users, Business Gateway nationally is exploring alternative approaches to increase the level and quality of customer feedback. 4.4.3. Year to Date Performance – Target 80% for all criteria Service Criteria SLC Satisfaction with BG 80% Expectations Met/Exceeded 81% Beneficial to Business 69% Likelihood to Recommend 80% Likelihood to Keep Using 84% Satisfaction with Staff 96% 4.4.4. Response levels for Lanarkshire are very low and are not fully representative of overall performance. However, the feedback received indicates a strong service offer with staff satisfaction a particular strength at 96%. 4.5. Workshops/Events 4.5.1. Business Gateway delivers a comprehensive national programme of online webinars and tutorials, which the local service complements rather than duplicates. In response to customer feedback, the advisory team introduced monthly in-person bootcamps covering key start-up topics. This “one-to-many” approach maximises adviser capacity during periods of high demand while also providing local networking opportunities for businesses. 4.5.2. SLC based workshops and attendance during 2025/2026:- Service Total Local Workshops 11 Attended 147 National Workshops 436 Attended 1000 123
Page 124
4.6. Marketing 4.6.1. Activity during the year focused on increasing Business Gateway Lanarkshire’s visibility through targeted community and digital outreach, including engagement with colleges and DWP/Jobcentre partners. A targeted Meta lead-generation campaign delivered in Q3 generated over 250 enquiries, the majority from established businesses, demonstrating the effectiveness of digital marketing in stimulating demand and re-engaging lapsed customers. Further expansion of visibility is planned within high-footfall community venues, supported by Community Champions and data-led decision-making. 5. New Business Gateway Lanarkshire Specification and Team Structure 5.1. Rising enquiry volumes have made the current Business Gateway operating model unsustainable, placing pressure on adviser capacity, customer response times, and the quality of engagement. A high proportion of enquiries do not progress to engagement, resulting in inefficient use of adviser time and limiting the ability to demonstrate longer-term outcomes and economic impact. 5.2. The proposed model reshapes service delivery by streamlining and triaging enquiries, increasing use of one-to-many support, and shifting initial communications to marketing. Adviser capacity reduces from 8 to 6 full time equivalent (FTE), while Senior Adviser capacity increases from 3.8 to 5.8 FTE to support structured account management for priority and growth SMEs. 5.3. This approach is expected to improve customer experience, target support more effectively, strengthen community engagement, build a stronger pipeline of viable businesses, and enhance impact tracking through portfolio management and regular review points. 6. Employee Implications 6.1. There are no direct employee implications as a result of the contents of this report. Business Gateway Lanarkshire is hosted by North Lanarkshire Council with the Council’s Business Support Team providing management support. 7. Financial Implications 7.1. This update sets out the work being delivered within existing business support budgets and does not have any financial implications for South Lanarkshire Council. 8. Climate Change, Sustainability and Environmental Implications 8.1. There are no direct climate change implications as a result of this report. The work of Business Gateway Lanarkshire however can assist businesses on their journey to net zero. 9. Other Implications 9.1. As Business Gateway Lanarkshire will be the main conduit to the SME business base in Lanarkshire, they will play a role in engaging with this business cohort in relation to our Marmot Place programme during its developmental and delivery phases. In not providing Business Gateway services, businesses within South Lanarkshire would be significantly impacted and growth would be hampered. 10. Integrated Impact Assessment and Consultation Requirements 10.1. This report does not introduce a new policy, function or strategy or recommend a change to an existing policy, function or strategy and therefore no impact assessment is required. 10.2. There is ongoing consultation/dialogue with Business Gateway Lanarkshire. 124

Report Agenda Item Report to: Community and Enterprise Resources Committee Date of Meeting: 2 June 2026 Report by: Executive Director (Community and Enterprise Resources) Subject: Community Benefit Funds – Annual Report 2025/2026 1. Purpose of Report 1.1. The purpose of the report is to:- provide an update on the Community Benefit Funds administered by Enterprise and Sustainable Development Services on behalf of the Council during 2025/2026 2. Recommendation(s) 2.1. The Committee is asked to approve the following recommendation(s):- (1) that the Community Benefit Funds administered by the Council and the grants awarded under the Renewable Energy Fund and the Clyde Wind Farm Fund in 2025/2026 be noted. 3. Background 3.1. The Council has a well-established mechanism for the collection and distribution of community benefit related to wind farm developments. This was initially established following the approval of a report by the Executive Committee entitled Community Benefit (Establishment of a Renewable Energy Fund) on 3 March 2004. 3.2. The Council administers the community benefit element of the Renewable Energy Fund (REF) for 44 wind farms within South Lanarkshire and the community benefit for Clyde Wind Farm Fund (CWFF). Operators of larger windfarm developments provide recurring annual fund contributions, formalised through legal agreements, whilst smaller developments such as single wind turbines sites, may consider providing a ‘capitalised’ one off community benefit payment. Community groups, social enterprises, trusts, public organisations and not for profit organisations within 10km of contributing wind farm providers are eligible to apply. Over an 11-year period, 2015/2016 to 2025/2026, the Council has made awards including micro grants of £23.7m from the Community Benefit Funds to 1,132 projects and attracted £26m in additional funding. 3.3. The agreements around the provision of community benefit oblige the Council to administer these funds using the REF mechanism. This task is undertaken by Enterprise and Sustainable Development Services who is responsible for all aspects, from securing the contributions from the developers, advising potential applicants, assessing applications and monitoring projects to ensure that the community benefits associated with each project are delivered. The Service continually seeks 10 127
Page 128
ways to maximise the community benefit for all eligible communities across South Lanarkshire. 3.4. Between the various funds £5,175,941 has been administered in 2025/2026. Apart from one-off capitalised payments, the Funds receive income for the duration of each windfarm’s operational life and, typically, recurring annual payments which rise in line with the Retail Price Index. The operation of the Council’s Community Benefit Policy, with emphasis on the renewable energy sector has proven to be a success with communities accessing funding for a diverse range of locally based projects. 3.5. Alongside these established windfarm developments and their associated Community Benefit Funds, there are several other potential wind farm developments throughout South Lanarkshire which are subject to planning approval. It is, therefore, possible that subject to appropriate agreements being put in place, the level of community benefit funding available to communities will increase over the next 10 years. If promoted and managed well, this increase will have a significant positive impact on the eligible communities. 3.6. Although Enterprise and Sustainable Development Services lead in the delivery of Community Benefit Funds, there is a significant level of consultation and cooperation across a wide range of Council services. This ensures that applicants receive support and advice to ensure the projects being developed meet the needs and aspirations of the community; are of a high quality and are delivered efficiently and effectively. 3.7. It should be noted that there are also windfarm funds within South Lanarkshire which are administered out with the scope of the Council’s REF. These include SSE Clyde Extension, Auchrobert Community Benefit Fund, Ventient, Galawhistle Community Benefit Fund, Ventient Glenkernie Community Benefit Fund and Kypemuir and OnPathEnergy Kypemuir Community Benefit Fund. 3.8. During 2023, a review of the guidance and priorities for the REF was undertaken and amendments were approved at the Community and Enterprise Resources Committee on 6 February 2024 in the Renewable Energy Fund - Strengthening Links to Rural Priorities report. 4. Renewable Energy Fund (REF) - Projects Approved During 2025/2026 4.1. There are currently 44 windfarm developments contributing to the REF operating across South Lanarkshire at the following locations:- Andershaw, Auchrobert, Bank End Rig, Blacklaw, Blantyre Muir, Burnbrae, Calder Water, Climpy, Couplaw, Dungavel, Dykehead, Eastertown, Gallawhistle, Garelwood, Greenwall, Greenhall View, Haspielaw, High Blackwood Yard, High Dyke, JJ’s Farm, Lampits, Letham, Millburn, Muirhall, Muirhall Extension, Middlemuir, Netherfauldhouse, Nether Kypeside, North Brackenridge, Nutberry, Pates Hill, Rench Farm, Tanhill, Upper Haywood, West Browncastle, Westtown, Whitehill, Whitelee, Woodlands, Yards Farm, Kypemuir, Kypemuir Extension, Cumberhead, Douglas West, Mill Rig. 4.2. During 2025/2026, contributions of £3,761,300 (including interest) were received from the operating companies, incorporating both annual payments and “one off” payments. 128
Page 129
4.3. A diverse range of projects across South Lanarkshire have been supported. A complete list of projects supported in the last financial year is attached at Appendix 1. A total of 91 projects have been supported with total grants of £3,375,259 towards total project costs of £6,344,023 giving an average grant award of £37,090 towards an average project cost of £69,714 at a 53% intervention rate. 4.4. Since 2018, the REF has funded microgrants available to all community councils or similar geographically based organisations in South Lanarkshire. In 2025/2026, 24 community councils or similar organisations such as resident associations and community trusts were awarded micro grants totalling £104,892. Details of these awards are set out in Appendix 2. 4.5. Taking REF grants and the micro grants awards together (91+24) a total of 115 grants were awarded during 2025/2026 with a total value of £3,480,151 (£3,375,259 + £104,892). This is a decrease of 1 grant and decrease of £317,417 in grant value reported in 2024/2025. 4.6. Following an agreement with OnPath Energy and the Council’s Employability Service, Kype Muir Windfarm will continue to support Connect2Renewables Employability Programme which has been extended for a further five years to the end of 2029 at a value of £145,500 per annum as reported in 2024/2025. The employability support eligible areas are Sandford and Upper Avondale, Strathaven and Glassford, Stonehouse, Lesmahagow Blackwood and Kirkmuirhill (including Boghead) Community Council areas. 4.7. Following agreement with OnPath Energy and the Council’s Employability Service, Middle Muir Connect2Renewables programme will continue to support Connect2Renewables Employability Programme till 2028 at a value of £174,453 per annum as reported in 2024/2025.

In addition, a publicity document for 2025/26 will be prepared highlighting projects funded in the year or recently completed. 6.2. This annual report will be circulated and publicised digitally, and copies will be made available for Councillors and community groups. 7. Employee Implications 7.1. The Funds will continue to be managed within existing resources. 8. Financial Implications 8.1. There are no financial implications to the Council. No funding offers are issued without income from the respective developments being in place. 9. Climate Change, Sustainability and Environmental Implications 9.1. Environmental sustainability is one of the appraisal considerations and applicants are encouraged to consider and include good environmental practices within projects. In the current year there are several projects which have helped deliver environmental improvements or energy efficiency for groups. These include:- Coalburn Miners Welfare Charitable Society - Biomass Upgrade Hope Hub SCIO - Solar/Battery Installation Kirkmuirhill and Blackwood Men's Shed - Solar and Battery Storage Stonehouse Violet Social Club - Solar Installation Strathaven Rugby Football Club Limited - Carbon Neutral Indoor Training Facility East Kilbride Men's Shed - Efficient Space Heating Blantyre Soccer Academy - PV Panels 10. Other Implications 10.1. The risks falling on the Council in the administration of Community Benefits are reputational. Management of the funds are subject to the Council’s normal financial scrutiny and reporting arrangements. By not undertaking this work, the Council would not be acting consistently in support of its adopted policy and there would be a risk that funds would not be distributed timeously and equitably to eligible community organisations. 11. Integrated Impact Assessment and Consultation Requirements 11.1. This report does not introduce a new policy, function or strategy or recommend a change to an existing policy, function or strategy and, therefore, no impact assessment is required. 11.2. All necessary and appropriate consultations are undertaken within the Council, with partner organisations and community groups as part of the grant process. 130
