DECISION

The Cabinet approved the Cyngor Gwynedd Plan 2023-2028 – 2024/25 Review (the Plan) to be submitted to Council on 7 March 2024.

DISCUSSION

The report was submitted stating that there was a requirement to undertake a review of the Cyngor Gwynedd Plan even though it had only been a year since it had been passed. It was noted that the report highlighted the amendments that can be seen.

The Council's Business Support Service Manager highlighted that a light review had been carried out to ensure the plan remained up to date. It was emphasised that the priority areas, which aligned with the well-being objectives as a result of the act and the Council's list of ambitions remained as they were.

It was highlighted that adaptations had been made to projects such as Free School Meals in the Education Department section as this scheme was now part of the day-to-day work of the department. Another scheme taken out was reviewing the Language Policy as it had been accepted by Full Council at its meeting before Christmas. It was noted that work had been undertaken to repackage the Adults Care project to simplify the description and to combine projects.

Observations arising from the discussion

·         It was noted that modifying and reviewing the document highlighted that this was a live document and had been a very good exercise in seeing what had been achieved.

·         It was emphasised that no change had been made to the objectives of the repackaged schemes in the Adults department, but rather made it easier to be able to create milestones and as a result it would be possible to report on those.
