Issue - meetings

To consider the report of the Director (JY).

The Director (JY) presented the report asking for Executive approval to add one full time Corporate Manger level post to the Councils staffing structure using existing revenue funding.

Members were advised that there was two aspects to the proposal:-

·         The creation of an additional permanent post to be funded from existing funding  - Active and Healthy People Programme Lead – to lead the Sport England Local Delivery Programme and to develop strategies to make best use of the council’s assets and facilities to deliver on the emerging Physical Activity Strategy;

·         Delegation for the creation of the Sports England Local Delivery Pilot Team providing there is agreement from Unison to do so.

The Leader supported the proposal to ensure that that would be no negative impact on the delivery of the Sport England programme. 

RESOLVED that;-

(1)     in line with section 2.1 of the Council’s Management of Change/Redundancy Policy (April 2015) the creation of this additional permanent post from existing funding be approved; and

(2)     the creation of the Sport England Local Delivery Pilot team be delegated to the Director (Jo Yelland) providing there is agreement from Unison to do so, in order to meet the Sports England timescales. The delivery team posts will be fully funded by the Sports England bid. There is no impact on existing staff in the Council.
