Page 213 8.4 Social / Community Infrastructure Line 6: add in arts after cultural.

REPORT:

The motion seeks to amend Section 8.4 Social/Community Infrastructure as follows:

From:

The Council recognises that the provision of good quality social and community facilities in existing and developing areas is a key element in placemaking and in the creation of sustainable and socially cohesive communities. Social/community infrastructure is a vital part of all neighbourhoods and contributes greatly to the social fabric and quality of life. Community facilities serve as focal points for the neighbourhoods they serve and provide opportunities for interaction through local community, sporting, cultural, educational and social events. These activities increase personal well-being and add to our sense of place and local identity. Good quality community facilities can also boost the attractiveness of an area for those who choose to live, work or invest in it.
