1. Summary

1.1 The following decision was made:

That Cabinet's consideration of this report be deferred to September meeting to allow time for the review the rating of paragraph 7 of Appendix (attached to the report) in regard to Local Action for Health.

2. Reason

2.1 To report on corporate sustainability performance during 2005/06, and recommend a new approach to target setting for 2006/07.

2.2 This decision supports all aims of the Corporate Strategy.

3. Other Options Considered and Rejected

3.1 Not to do an annual sustainability report. This was rejected as the report is central to monitoring the County Council's sustainability performance and reviewing priorities as necessary. This has increased in significance since the County Council signed up to the Aalborg Commitments in June 2004 and as sustainability becomes more prominent in the Comprehensive Performance Assessment process.

4. Conflicts of Interest Declared by the Decision Maker or Other Executive Member Consulted - None.

5. Dispensation granted by the Standards Committee - Not applicable.

6. Reason(s) for the Matter being dealt with if Urgent - Not applicable.
