Councillor C Sharpe moved the recommendation; this was seconded by Councillor M Fitzgerald. The recommendation was unanimously agreed.

The reason for the decision

To agree a document setting out the Councils ambitions and priorities over the medium to longer term and that provided a framework for the review and management of existing assets.
