Issue - meetings

The core purpose of this proposed framework was to ensure there was a ‘new’ approach on how best a local authority could tackle the inactivity levels that challenged our local wards. The Council should encourage young children and adults to take part in outdoor activities like playing football and other sports by creating more opportunities for accessing such sporting activities.

This approach would help tackle many of the wider health inequalities that face the district, contributing to wider economic savings, increase resident engagement and participation and reduce long term health conditions by improving the health and wellbeing of the local communities.

Councillor Game proposed, Councillor Savage seconded and Cabinet adopted the proposed Active Thanet strategic framework 2018-2022 to replace the Sport and Active recreation 2015-2019 strategy.
