EXECUTIVE LEADER’S ADDRESS The Executive Leader stated that the start of the new municipal year provided an opportunity to reflect back on the past year and what achievements had been made and also to look forward to the next twelve months. The Council was continuing to deliver its jobs pledge to ensure that every young person had the best possible start, with over 100 apprentices commencing with the Council and partner organisations over the past year. The Executive Leader commented on the progress of the Business Summit, set up to work with the private sector in Tameside to discuss policies and investments and was pleased to report that businesses were working with the council and partners to improve skills and employment locally. The success of the bin swap scheme, to reduce the costs of waste going to landfill and make Tameside environmentally friendly, was highlighted, with savings of £24,000 per week, with two thirds of the Borough still to switch. The progress of the Vision Tameside project was further highlighted, with the building of a new Advanced Learning Centre for Tameside College, together with the Advanced Technologies Centre, would guarantee that the students of Tameside received an education at the cutting edge of technology. The project, which also included the construction of a new administrative centre for the Borough, would also bring £300 million of growth through the creation of jobs, increased apprenticeships and more business for local shops and retailers.

The Executive Leader emphasised the importance of looking beyond the confines of the Borough and geographical boundaries and made reference to the devolution of £6 billion of health and social care funding to Greater Manchester and explained how this would enable the first pioneering moves to the full integration of health and social care to be made locally. In conclusion, the Executive Leader reaffirmed the Council’s commitment to take Tameside forward and help support residents and businesses and build and strengthen the local economy through challenging times. 9.
