To consider a report of the Executive Member for Culture & Leisure.

The Executive Member for Culture and Leisure submitted a report which set out proposals for a refresh of “Trafford Moving”, the borough’s physical activity and sport strategy, which had been adopted by the Council in 2018. It was noted that since 2018 there had been a shift in focus to a holistic whole system approach that collectively addresses the complex barriers often faced by residents to increasing activity levels. This had been shaped, in part, by the Sport England funded Local Pilots and the refresh and relaunch of Sport England strategy. This had also triggered a refresh of GM Moving, the physical activity strategy for Greater Manchester. These factors, and relatively consistent levels of inactivity in Trafford, indicated the prudence of refreshing Trafford Moving; and a consultation would accordingly be undertaken early in 2022 to inform this process.

            RESOLVED -

(1)       That a more in-depth consultation between January and March 2022 be approved.

(2)       That a 10 year time-line to align with GM Moving and Sport England be approved.

(3)       That the Community Based approach be approved.
