Issue - meetings

The Mayor, Councillor Iqbal, attended for this item and consideration was given to a report of the Corporate Policy Development Officer on the Mayor’s Healthy Living Campaign.

Members were informed that the main area that had been chosen by the current Mayor to promote and support the health and wellbeing agenda in Oldham was to promote physical activity, with a particular focus on walking.

The aim would be to raise the awareness of already existing groups, or establish new local community led walking groups, aimed at getting those who did no or very little physical exercise started in an easy and local community setting.

The Mayor outlined events coming up and indicated he would personally be participating as much as he could.

RESOLVED that:-

1.    The report on the Mayor’s Healthy Living Campaign 2018/19 be noted

2.    An update report would be submitted to a future meeting

3.    The Sub-Committee extended its support to the Mayor.
