■ ■
Key theme Economic development, focusing on retaining employment and creating new
opportunities for growth
Key theme Environmental sustainability, focusing on addressing the balance between growth
and protecting environmental standards
The adoption of these priorities and implementation of proposed actions can contribute to the wellbeing
and quality of life of people in the City. We have also looked at issues concerning governance
of the Board and made structural changes, which will support and enhance the effectiveness of the
business of the Board. I am satisfied that, with the support of the Board and staff, the actions we have
set out are achievable and that we will have the flexibility to respond to other issues and initiatives
as they arise. I would like to acknowledge the leadership of the Chairperson Cllr Sean Kenny and
the contributions of the Board Members and members of staff to the work of the review and the
development of the new action plan. I am confident we can build on the success to date by utilising
the energy and commitment of the Boards membership.
