Consideration was given to a report which presented a draft Anti-Poverty Strategy and associated Plan which covered the required factors and demonstrated that poverty was being addressed in Argyll and Bute.
Decision
The Policy and Resources Committee agreed to recommend to the Council –
1. Approval of the draft Anti-Poverty Strategy and Plan as appended to the submitted report.
2. To note that the strategy and plan, once approved, would be shared with community and participation groups, that mechanisms will be set up to monitor targets and milestones and that a report will be brought back annually reviewing actions achieved at the end of each reporting year.
