Decision details

The Head of Asset Management reported that as we move towards Local Government Reorganisation in 2023, the nature of public services would change and new ways of working and new technologies would need to be adopted to facilitate the merging of Barrow into the new unitary authority Westmorland and Furness Council.

The Strategic Asset Management Plan which was considered by the Committee was intended to promote a common understanding of emerging issues and priority actions in the short to medium-term.  It was not a static document, but part of a process designed to engage Members, officers, partners and customers in a debate about the nature of and future management direction for the Council’s land and property resource to influence regeneration and economic development

It was moved by Councillor Morgan and seconded by Councillor Barlow; and

RESOLVED:- To recommend the Council:-

1.          To agree the Strategic Asset Management Plan (SAMP) as attached to the report;

2.          To agree to the investment profiles identified in Part 5 of the SAMP; and

3.          To agree to the Priorities and Actions identified in Part 6 of the SAMP.
