The report of the Strategic Director of Communities

Presented by the Community and Climate Change Portfolio Holder

The Community and Climate Change Portfolio Holder presented the report.

It was moved by Councillor M Wyatt, seconded by Councillor T Saffell, and

RESOLVED THAT:

1. The North West Leicestershire Community Health and Wellbeing Plan be adopted.
2. The Council to be a key partner in the delivery of the North West Leicestershire Community Health and Wellbeing Plan be agreed.

Reason for decision: The Integrated Care Board is taking a whole systems approach to improving the health of local residents, and the Council is a key partner in supporting the delivery of this at a local/neighbourhood level.

Due to the nature of the services it delivers, the Council can impact health positively through areas such as housing, customer services, planning policy, air quality, physical activity, signposting, and safeguarding, for example.

In addition, the Council works with and understands the needs of its residents and is best placed to support with behaviour change as well as being well connected with local organisations and having a good knowledge of the local area, both of which will help to inform and deliver the plan.
