Issue - meetings

Future40 has been a Council led initiative to develop a long-term vision for Epsom and Ewell. It involved the largest consultation and engagement exercise ever undertaken in the borough.  The new ‘Our Vision Epsom and Ewell’, is the culmination of this extensive resident and stakeholder engagement.  The purpose of this report is to seek approval of the draft ‘Our Vision’ document.

Council received a report presenting the recommendations of the Strategy and Resources Committee with regard to the approval of the ‘Our Vision Epsom and Ewell’ document.

Councillor Eber Kington MOVED the recommendations in the report.

Upon being put, the recommendations were CARRIED unanimously.

Accordingly, it was resolved that Council:

(1)          Agreed the ‘Our Vision Epsom and Ewell’ document, attached at Annex 1 to the report;

(2)          Delegated to the Chief Executive and Chief Operating Officer in consultation with the Chairman of Strategy and Resources any final design or minor drafting changes to the Vision document before its publication;

(3)          Endorsed officers seeking opportunities to engage with partner organisations, from the public, private and voluntary sectors, oversee delivery of the Council’s Vision.
