Report of the Chairman of the Engaging with Children and Young People task group and the Service Director Performance and Innovation.

The Chairman of the Engaging with Children and Young People Task Group and the Service Director Performance and Innovation submitted a report detailing the work and recommendations of the Engaging with Children and Young People Task Group.

The Leisure, Health and Community Engagement Portfolio Holder thanked the task group for all the work they had been put into producing a really good report.

Decision taken

Cabinet agreed the task group’s recommendations at paragraph 3.3 and 3.4 of the report:

·         that the council continue to develop closer working relationships with other organisations to facilitate the council’s engagement with young people and

·         that a section dedicated to children and young people be set up on the council’s website.

In relation to the recommendations at paragraph 3.1 and 3.2 of the report, Cabinet felt that, as the Youth Council was currently still receiving the support of Lancashire County Council and no decision regarding its future had been made, it would be inappropriate to accept the recommendations in respect of any possible setting up of a Wyre Youth Council in the future.

Report of the Resources Portfolio Holder and Service Director Performance and Innovation.

The Resources Portfolio Holder and Service Director Performance and Innovation submitted a report about the capital overspend in relation to the provision of a Digital Hub at Fleetwood Market.

Decision taken

Cabinet noted the explanation of the variations to the budget and agreed that the most recently reported 2017/18 Capital Budget and its funding be updated to reflect an overspend of £9,769.
