RESOLVED that the Armed Forces Covenant Action Plan be approved and the plan be reviewed in six months to monitor progress and to add any further actions that may be required.

The Portfolio Holder for Communities and IT presented the report for an Armed Forces Covenant Action Plan. The action plan provided an overarching view of how the Council would work in the future to help and support to the Districts current and ex- Armed Forces personnel who live in district’s area. He advised that the work on the plan would be on-going and that the Council would be looking into the position in respect of business rate purposes of the British Legion, Royal Air Force Association (RAFA) and Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Families Association (SSAFA) premises to investigate if they could be classified as charities in line with other community buildings.  This was a live document which would be reviewed in six months’ time.

The Portfolio Holder for Communities and IT proposed the recommendation, this was seconded by Portfolio Holder for Waste Management & Environmental Health.
