Cabinet noted that the Environment and Community Panel had considered the report and supported the Cabinet Recommendations.

Councillor Ring presented the report and thanked officers for all their hard work in bringing this forward.

The Regeneration Programmes Manager provided further detail on the proposals.

Councillor Rust noted that social isolation for the elderly was being addressed through the Marmot initiative and lily projects and supported links between Marmot and the Pride in Place Programme.

Councillor Squire referred to the differences in life expectancies in different areas within the Borough and that work needed to be carried out to bridge the gap.

Councillor Morley referred to the funding available and noted that addressing the needs of local communities was just as important as the larger projects.  The Assistant Director confirmed that other sources of funding would be looked at to reinforce and continue projects and noted that the Town Deal Board were keen to work with communities to fund the best kinds of interventions to tackle issues and change lives for the better.

Councillor Ring was pleased to see restrictions lifted in this project such as focussing on spending money appropriately rather than quickly and that it could be used to support Town Deal Projects and smaller, more impactful projects.

Cabinet discussed the importance of addressing health inequalities, social isolation and improving access to opportunities and culture for all ages, including cultural initiatives and support for deprived areas.
