Agenda item

Chris Dean, Programme Manager - Moors for the Future, introduced the report and operational plan, highlighting the achievements of the team and ambitions for 2015/16 and beyond. It was noted that there was no news on the recent Moorlife bid but to assist staff retention it was hoped that a decision would be made before 1 April 2015.

On behalf of all Members the Chair of the Authority congratulated Chris and the officers supporting the programme on the achievements over the past 11 years. As Geoff Nickolds, Chair of the Moors for the Future Partnership, would be leaving the Authority at the end of March, the Committee expressed their thanks to Geoff for his significant contributions.

The officer recommendation was moved, seconded, put to the vote and carried.

RESOLVED

To support the Operational Plan and recommend it to the Moors for the Future Partnership’s Strategic Management Group for approval.
